DRC grants for twelve Utrecht-based researchers

Twelve researchers affiliated with Utrecht University receive funding from DRC's Open Competition SSH XS programme. The funding of up to 50,000 euros gives ample opportunity to experiment with promising ideas or innovative initiatives. Interestingly, many of the research projects awarded are about young people. This is also a great stimulus for university-wide child and youth research within Utrecht University's strategic theme Dynamics of Youth. Utrecht projects and researchers. Project: Between a rock and a hard place: How do Indigenous young adults make sense of global climate change?. This research will hopefully shed more light on intergenerational perspectives from Indigenous peoples on the climate emergency as well as their adaptation strategies. The grant allows us to gather in-depth and local perspectives on global climate change, which allows the development of a new research direction in the Netherlands and beyond.
