    In collaboration with project partners, you will engage in both research and impact activities with different stakeholders, disseminating the generated outputs.

    You will be expected to work independently under the guidance of the project lead Dr Ana Javornik.

    You will have an opportunity to develop your academic profile and expertise in this exciting and novel area as you will be actively involved in different aspects of this project.

    You will be co-organising and participating in the online and in-person events such as workshops and you will also have an opportunity to attend academic conferences presenting the research outcomes.
