After a well-deserved summer break, the CMES team gathered for a two-day kick-off at the beautiful Åhus Seaside to strategise and coordinate for the upcoming academic year. The autumn program for the CMES seminar series is already in place, offering a wide range of exciting topics.
Next week, the new MECW three-year project will be presented focusing on satellite monitoring of environmental changes in contexts of conflict and governance stress. Also in September, Dalia Abdelhady will give a talk on Syrian refugees in Jordan and Turkey, a writing project she will be working on during her CMES writing retreat this autumn.
We are also pleased to welcome new colleagues to CMES: Linus Edlund as a Communication Officer, and Alexandra Cermeno, Andrés Palacio and Amir Naghibi as researchers in the new MECW-project
