OSA survey Last Friday Yann Clough presented the results of the organizational and social work environment which you had the opportunity to contribute to in May-August this year. The results were a testimony to the excellent collegial atmosphere we have at CEC. Some of the areas we will be giving attention to as we move forward are giving more continuous (and positive) feedback, ensuring that we keep and develop our strengths within the CIG process and addressing the high levels of stress that many among us feel in the face of uncertainty related to CIG. The presentation is available on the CEC teams channel (under files), alternatively, contact Yann yann.clough@cec.lu.se if you would like a copy sent to you. SDGs + LUCRIS A new opportunity to find out more about how you can link the SDGs to your research in LUCRIS will come on 24 November, when Hanna Voog will come to the Friday Fika and talk about this.

Funding Opportunities On the CEC Staff pages, there is a dedicated page called Funding Opportunities (a sub-page to Applying for funding) listing open calls for external funding. Some of the calls have a need for co-funding – please read the fine print and note that even if a call is listed on the CEC staff page, the required co-funding will not automatically be covered by CEC. If you want to apply for external research funding, CEC has a mandatory internal process, more information in the link below.
