The CERE has a five-step strategy to integrate research and researchersWorking groupsThe idea is create funding opportunities for working groups, which are defined as a small group of scientists collaborating intensively on the integration of social and life sciences. Working groups can be formed from researchers within and from researchers outside. They can follow an endogenously determined plan of work.Research ColloquiumThe Colloquium is designed to stimulate the day-to-day scientific discussion within the Centre. The goal is to provide an on-going in-house forum for critical review on theoretical and empirical concepts and methods.Visiting scholarsA key to establishing world-class research is providing resources that encourage a flow of well-known and up-and-coming scholars visiting Umeå. We will encourage visits from scholars around the globe in three ways.First, we will create the annual Umeå Lecture. This lecture will invite a world-famous scholar to visit Umeå for one week, and provide 3-4 lectures for the Umeå research community. Secondly, the long-run goal is to sponsor at least 2-4 visiting scholars per year for extended stays (6-12 months) in Umeå. Thirdly, visitors participating in the Working Groups for shorter time periods (2-4 weeks). Post-docsOur idea is to expose postdocs to a broad range of people and ideas from around the globe, including current residents, visiting professors and other young scientists.Education and end usersIntegrating education and end users requires us to work with the Umeå School of the Environment. We will also develop a user-friendly website and newsletter.Research areas
