Scholarship KELOLA Arts Grants Indonesia

The number of applicants for the Arts Grant program keep on increasing. New and creative ideas have also arisen, which challenges the selection process.

Scholarship Details:

An artist’s job to create is often not supported by financial means in order to exhibit their creations. Therefore, it is not rare if they fail to suggest ideal artistic ideas in an exhibition.

Grants:

Arts Grants (Hibah Seni) is a program that offers competitive funding for Indonesian artists working in the field of music, dance, and theatre to produce new works, or to tour performances outside their region. The Grant will help selected artists to bring their work to the public, as a platform to communicate with a broader community.

Support Details:

To date, the Arts Grant offers two kinds of support, innovative works, and touring of performances. The innovative criteria supports the creation of contemporary performing arts works. The touring criteria serves as opportunities for artists whose works have been performed before but has not been been performed in other areas outside of their region of origin. Touring the performance will then reach new audiences and enable communication between different artistic communities, and therefore strengthens the arts community in Indonesia.

Postgraduate PhD scholarship in Climate Change Effects to Plant Ecosystems

Applications are invited from talented young candidates for a PhD scholarship in effects to plant ecosystems from climate change.

The PhD will be enrolled at Ecosystems programme, Biosystems Division at Risø DTU. The Ecosystems programme work on effects of climate change to ecosystems, ecosystems feedback, adaptation and mitigation as well as ecosystem modeling in relation to climate change. The project will be carried out within the highly interdisciplinary and international research environment in the division. The project will employ some of the advanced experimental facilities the division has for conducting studies of climate change effects on ecosystems and biological processes, including advanced phytotron, controlled environments, field scale experiments and laboratories. The scholarship is carried out in close collaboration with the Nordic NordForsk initiative within the project ‘Sustainable primary production in a changing climate.

The project
The PhD project is related to effects of climate change on plant production, quality and sustainability. Climate change will change plant ecosystems and affect conditions for plant growth, and in that way affect not only yield and composition of crop biomass, but also change the ecosystem demands for nutrients, pesticides and water. The project will explore how future climate change scenarios will affect plant production and fungal disease severity in selected model crops; the results will be used by collaborators for modeling the sustainability of the future crop production. Part of the PhD will be devoted to study plant adaptation and acclimation to fast abiotic and biotic stress by the use of molecular tools for gene expression profiling and physiological measurements.

The PhD project will focus on understanding of key processes in plants under abiotic and biotic stress in multifactor stress scenarios e.g. with elevated CO₂, ozone, temperature, limited water and foliar diseases. Plant population responses and feedback to climate change through genetic composition or gene expression will be explored in experiments with spontaneous and deliberate plant selection over a number of generations. The experiment will be carried out in Risø DTU’s advanced experimental facilities and include extreme events as part of the climate manipulation.

Qualifications
Candidates should have (or obtain) a master’s degree in molecular plant biology, plant physiology or plant breeding, or similar competences. A candidate with experience in molecular methods and plant population genetic analysis will be preferred.

Approval and Enrollment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrollment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary and appointment terms
The salary and appointments terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The scholarship is for 3 years.

PhD position Newcastle Business School Studentships

Newcastle Business School is pleased to offer the following research studentship opportunity:


Dietary change – The role of meat free choice(s) in addressing food security, consumer behaviour, marketing barriers and enablers. (Our Ref: RS10-NBS01)

Food 2030, the UK Government’s strategic response to developing a sustainable food supply chain, suggests a need to reduce our consumption of meat and its impact on our health and the environment. To date, accounting for the environmental impact of foodstuffs has primarily seen the advancement and streamlining of supply-side life-cycle analysis techniques to measure embedded carbon emissions of products. A notable outcome of much of this research in the food industry has been the realisation that meat products are significantly carbon-inefficient when compared to, for example, grain or vegetable products (e.g. Williams et al., 2006). However, in addition to this, ‘meat alternative’ products may also be associated with other win-win opportunities across the health and sustainability agenda, such as lower fat content, reduced salt, reduced water use or a smaller land use footprint.

Such findings have led to recommendations for reductions in the meat content of diets (e.g. IPCC, 2008). Although wholesale changes in consumer diets or consumption habits is an unlikely achievable goal in the short term, it is possible that improving demand for meat-substituting products could provide a means for better achievement of sustainability and quality of life targets. Despite growing media coverage of these issues consumer uptake of meat free choices within the UK remains limited. There is a clear need to understand the consumer within this emerging debate and the issues that drive market demand and /or create disengagement.

This research, co-sponsored by Premier Foods Ltd., seeks to investigate the factors that influence market demand for meat substitutes and meat free products. Segments of consumers that share common behavioural characteristics will be identified to provide a better understanding individual consumer preferences. Specific research questions that may be addressed in the project include:

• What understanding do UK consumers have of current and emerging the issues of food security – what’s hot and what’s not?
• What are the barriers and enabling factors that influence behavioural change in the meat free sector?
• How can consumers be segmented in terms of both attitude and behaviour?
• What voluntary, policy, and other alternative mechanisms could be developed or structured to influence behavioural change in this sector.

The outcomes will be linked with those from other similar on-going projects being undertaken by the co-sponsor including work at Imperial College and Liverpool University that are examining the impact of dietary change on health and environment.

Hitachi Scholarship Foundation

The position is meant to conduct research on multi-level vehicle routing problems. The work, which involves the implementation and testing of heuristic optimization strategies, will be carried out in close collaboration with Kenneth Sörensen and Peter Goos. The candidate is expected to enroll the university’s Ph.D. program and to obtain a Ph.D. at theend of the project. A short project description can be found below.

Short project description

The main aim of this project is to develop efficient solution methods for several reallife multi-level vehicle routing problems. In multi-level vehicle routing problems, decisions are taken on different levels. For

example:

• In multi-depot vehicle routing problems, decisions need to be taken on which customer to service from which depot, besides the typical routing decisions (determining the sequence of the customers in the routes and the assignment of customers to vehicles).

• In school bus routing problems, decisions to be taken include the assignment of students to bus stops, the selection of bus stops to use, as well as the typical routing decisions.

• In location-routing problems, the algorithm decides the optimal location of distribution facilities, as well as the typical routing decisions.

A second research topic of this project is the search for the most appropriate type of solution method for multi-level routing problems: iterative or integrated. We will examine specifically whether integrated optimization yields better results than sequential or iterative optimization, and what the main influencing factors are for the differences in performance.

A third important research topic that we intend to study is the interaction between different neighborhoods that operate on different levels of a multi-level problem. This will lead to a better understanding of the working of these neighborhoods and their interaction, and make the design of more powerful metaheuristics possible.

Finally, as a fourth research topic we intend to study the integration of exact methods into the developed heuristics. More and more, the study of so-called matheuristics, heuristics integrating mathematical programming methods, are being viewed as an interesting research avenue. Progress in the development of general integer programming solvers (such ILOG’s Cplex) during the last decade has been impressive, and has become such that using these solvers for real-life (sub)problems has become an attractive option.

In fact, multi-level problems offer an interesting playground for this type of methods, as some of the sub-problems can potentially be solved using exact methods, whereas others can be solved using neighborhood search heuristics.

We offer a four-year position (with annual evaluation), a net monthly grant of about 1900 euro, and a stimulating working environment in a lively cosmopolitan city. For more information, please contact Kenneth Sörensen with email address: kenneth.sorensen@ua.ac.be

Julie Gilbert

Julie Gilbert, former senior vice-president of Best Buy

You can read more about Julie Gilbert who was featured in Issue 1 of The Royal Neighbor magazine.

Julie Gilbert heads a thriving business called WOLF Means Business that combines business strategy with a strong belief in people and a passion for the possible. Her innovative ideas help grow businesses and inspire individuals to contribute more to their jobs, communities, others, and themselves.

Julie’s leadership style

I get energy by bringing as many people as possible into the vision I’ve created and making the vision big enough that it’s all-inclusive for people to create growth in business and within themselves.

As an example: At one point in my career, I had to create one of five project teams. I didn’t have an assistant to help, and I didn’t have an executive title to use to encourage participation.

So I positioned myself at the company coffee shop and engaged people for two days. I asked about their passions and what they liked to do. If they were a fit for the team, I invited them to join. As a result, I had people who were unbelievably passionate because they got to do what they loved to do every single day as a member of my team.

Their quality of work was off the charts and we were one of the most successful teams.

Julie’s success

I’ve been successful because, being raised by two entrepreneurial parents, I was taught very early that finance is the language of business. I learned how to build a business, what a profit and loss statement is and what a balance sheet looks like. I know that business is about building and nurturing relationships, a good work ethic, and understanding finance.

I started out as a CPA. That gave me a good foundation about finance that has been a powerful asset because it gave me the confidence to talk about financial issues that put me on par with my male colleagues.

WOLF Means Business

We are a consulting firm that helps transform businesses to better serve women. We work with companies and map out the strategy of the potential gain they could achieve by focusing on the female consumer. In almost every case, companies can potentially achieve billions of dollars in revenue.

Female employees at all levels work with female consumers to reinvent companies from the outside in and inside out. These women come up with some phenomenal ideas for new products and services.

Giving back plays a large role in our business, too. We try to inspire people to feel better about themselves and know they are valued and they matter. This empowers them to change their lives.

We are passionate about changing the world with women because women not only change the world for themselves, but for their children, husbands, and communities.

We also use our resources to build awareness of breast cancer and domestic violence, which affect women so critically.

How women can make their mark in the world

Have confidence in yourselves and take others with you. Realize that you have so much to give, support each other, and give back. We’re all in this together. We have an obligation to do better, stand up and lead, and step up to the podium and make it happen.
