“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.”

― Aristotle

×´Arguably, the conventional understanding of sustainability, underpinned by environmental preservation, economic viability and social equity consideration, falls short of addressing worsening, persistent and looming climate cataclysm. Bolder action is needed, and the pursuit of sustainability, understood as the avoidance of environmental harm or damage while maintaining some form of status quo in meeting current societal needs, increasingly appears to be missing the mark, in that it would fail to deliver on its basic premise of not "compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (United Nations Brundtland Commission 1987). Fundamentally, the narrative and subsequent actions need to depart from a passive stance to fully embrace a proactive, positive impact approach. Change, and de facto, innovation needs to be concomitantly driven by adequate policies, regulations, and institutional frameworks, as well as by bottom-up approaches, by individuals, communities, organisations, and grassroots initiatives. ×´

"DREAM+PLAN will recruit early career researchers who will be united by a mission to create a positive impact towards a more sustainable, fair, inclusive, and thriving planet for future generations. 

​

Their research will be driven by resilience (the ability to withstand and recover from disruptions), restoration (the ability to repair or rehabilitate degraded ecosystems) and regeneration (fostering the renewal, revitalisation and replenishment of ecosystems and communities) to address key societal challenges.

​

Each successful candidate will benefit from DREAM+PLAN's cutting-edge training grounded in best-practice, that will include both scientific training as well as the development of transferable skills to open up diverse career pathways."
