Young UTRI is a network that promotes connections, collaboration, and knowledge exchange on transformation towards sustainable development among early career researchers at Umeå University.
YRN is part of the Umeå Transformation Research Initiative (UTRI) but specifically aimed at researchers at Umeå University who are in the early stages of their academic careers. Our goal is to create an inclusive meeting place where early career researchers can build connections, exchange ideas, and explore sustainability challenges together across disciplines and faculties.
Through events and activities, you will have opportunities to present your research and engage in discussions with both fellow early career researchers and more senior colleagues.
The best way to get involved in the network is by participating in our events. You can also:
Who is Young UTRI for?
Young UTRI welcomes early career researchers from all disciplines who are interested in exploring questions related to sustainable development and societal transformation. Regardless of research field, the network provides a meeting place for new perspectives, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
If you aspire to a research career and have an interest in sustainable development, you are also welcome to participate in our activities. In addition, some of our activities are open to the wider public and external partners interested in collaboration.
Young UTRI is guided by a dedicated steering group. We meet regularly to organise and plan events and activities. If you would like to get involved in the steering group, organise your own event, or share other ideas, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Why join the steering group? Being part of the steering group gives you the opportunity to develop leadership and collaboration skills, build networks across disciplines, and contribute to shaping the future direction of Young UTRI.
