SAGES: International Staff Exchange Programme 2024

The Scottish Alliance for Geoscience, Environment and Society (SAGES) is a multidisciplinary geoscience network similar to the ABC/J Geoverbund. SAGES brings together expertise in the geosciences and environmental sciences from the Universities of Aberdeen, Abertay, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, St Andrews, Stirling, SAMS UHI, UWS and the British Geological Survey, Scotland.

Geoverbund ABC/J has been collaborating with SAGES since 2016. The focus is on the development of bilateral research projects, as well as postgraduate training and exchange programmes for researchers: For example, joint student theses are funded and access to various training programmes offered by both networks is facilitated.

In addition, cooperation is intensively promoted through the International Staff Exchange Programme: Scientists from SAGES and Geoverbund ABC/J can apply for financial support for research stays of several weeks in the respective partner network.
