The ReSCU Writers’ Retreat
On 27 and 28 May, the ReSCU Writers’ Retreat brought together 12 dedicated colleagues for an intensive two-day retreat at the beautiful Landgoed De Horst in Driebergen. This event provided a focused environment for participants to advance their research proposals, articles, chapters, and other academic works that required concentrated effort. By escaping daily distractions and dedicate 48 hours to their projects, ReSCU aims to get our (early-career) scholars enjoy the productive benefits from being in serene surroundings, also being enabled by having more than just professional discussion with one another, finding support in each other’s’ writing challenges and solutions!
The ReSCU Seed-Funding Grants
We are also thrilled about the ReSCU seed-funding grants, that are designed to support innovative data collection on topics related to Resilience, Security, and Civil Unrest. This small grant aims to help researchers explore the causes, dynamics, and consequences of these critical issues, with a particular focus on threats and challenges facing society. After the evaluation, the ReSCU co-directors were pleased with the very innovative research proposals.
