📢 The project "FUTURES – Transforming climate social futures" has received €1.22 million in funding from the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) under the Connecting Minds programme. At its core are young people who are particularly affected by climate change and whose voices have largely gone unheard—until now.

BOKU contributes its scientific expertise in climate research, social
transformation, and participatory methods. Together with young people, artists, social workers, and activists, BOKU researchers are developing visions for a just and sustainable future. These ideas will be integrated into climate-social urban politics in Salzburg. The project will serve as a model for other cities.

The project is led by Monika Mayer from the BOKU Institute of Meteorology and Climatology, and Christina Plank from the BOKU Institute of Development Research.

Funding covers two full-time pre-doc positions (three years each) and one part-time postdoc position (five years). The total project duration is five years.
