We are very excited to announce the fourth Planetary Health Equity Future Leaders program.
The ARC Laureate Planetary Health Equity Hothouse, in collaboration with the ANU Privilege Project will welcome a small group of early career researchers, PhD students and early career professionals (government or civil society) to join us in Canberra from 16th to 27th November 2026.
The thematic focus of the 2026 Planetary Health Equity Future Leaders program is “The equity imperative: pathways to exiting the consumptogenic system”. Through an intensive fortnight of workshops and masterclasses related to theory, transdisciplinary research methods, and knowledge mobilisation, plus time for writing and conversations, the program offers an opportunity to develop research skills, spark collaborative ideas, and create opportunities for knowledge mobilisation that aims to improve planetary health equity.
