Keynotes

Sjoukje Philip

Extreme weather is becoming more and more relevant, and more often the question is posed wether and to what extent extreme weather is influenced by climate change. In the past few years a lot of research has been done into the relation between extreme weather and climate change. The World Weather Attribution initiative is a collaboration between climate scientists and climate impact specialists that answers this question within days to weeks after the extreme event. But how do we make research results accessible to a wider audience rather than just to scientists? And why is it important to report results via the media so quickly after an analysis? Sjoukje Philip will present the field of extreme weather attribution and introduce some methods to analyse the relation between extreme weather and climate change. Moreover, she will provide insights in the necessity and procedures to communicate scientific results!

Juliane Schillinger

Juliane Schillinger is a PhD Candidate at the University of Twente, Faculty for Behavioural, Management and Social sciences, and a Junior Researcher with the Red Cross Climate Centre. Her research focuses on water management and climate adaptation in armed conflict, with a geographic focus on the Middle East. In January 2023, Juliane was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Environmental Peacebuilding Association.

What happens when different crises overlap and reinforce each other? And how can we improve the ways in which we react to such crises, and make sure to build resilience for the future? These are questions that interest her. But unforeseen disruptions in these highly unstable areas. Juliane Schillinger will share how she deals with these situations!

Organizers

P-NUT passes the borders of faculties, departments and even universities by bringing doctoral candidates with different backgrounds together to share their experiences and help each other to grow and become more efficient in their work. Our main objectives are to bring people who share similar interests together in both a professional and informal way, to inform them on the important aspects that might affect or benefit their careers as scientists and share and defend the rights of the PhDs at the UT. These objectives define the three main goals of P-NUT: connect, inform and represent the doctoral candidates of the University of Twente.

The P-NUT board organizes this event with Mario Boot being the main coordinator
