Up to four Doctoral and Masters Research Bursaries have been established at the University of Cape Town’s African Climate and Development Initiative (ACDI).
The work will be focused within the Bergrivier Transdisciplinary Research Programme which includes partners from the Western Cape Government, the Bergrivier Municipality and other business and civil society participants. The aim is to develop a range of interdisciplinary activities that will support the Bergrivier Municipality in their efforts to plan and respond to the challenges of climate change and development. Students will work within transdisciplinary teams of researchers and practitioners from different departments, disciplines and backgrounds.
