The Jean Monnet Sustainable Development Goals Network is delighted to announce a series of workshops for RMIT graduate students and early career researchers (broadly defined) aimed at making sense of the emerging place of the SDGs in universities.

The first workshop will be held on Tuesday, 7 May 2019, from 9.30am-2.00pm. Researchers interested in making the SDGs more central to their work are particularly encouraged to apply.

Workshop 1 will address the ‘troubles and opportunities’ with SDG engagement and research. Interested research students/early career researchers should send a 100-word summary of your research and a 100-word bio to [email protected] by Monday, 15 April 2019. Applicants will be notified of the outcome by Thursday, 18 April.

More information is available in the attached call for applications.

The workshop will be followed by a free seminar:

SDG 4: Quality Education

Sustainable Development Goal 4, Quality Education, aims to ‘ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.’ Through this seminar we aim to open a conversation about the two areas of work that Australia, by signing up to the SDGs, has committed to, namely, the achievement of the goals and targets of SDG 4 in Australia and Australia’s contribution to advancing SDG4 through aid and development.

Panellists:

• Emily Maiorino, Graduate, Master of International Development, RMIT University
• Professor Peter Kelly, School of Education, RMIT University
• Dr Carolyn Johnstone, Humanities and Social Science, Federation University
• Associate Professor Jose Roberto Guevara (Chair), School of Global, Urban and Social Studies, RMIT University

More information is available in the flyerfeatured beelow and attached.
