Welcome to the HoPE Nexus, a vibrant initiative at the forefront of sustainable development and innovative research. HoPE Nexus stands for Habitat of Planetary Ecologies and embarks on a mission to harmonise insights from the past, actions from the present, and possibilities for the future. Driven by the University of Warwick and an ensemble of dedicated partners, this initiative zeroes in on addressing crucial issues such as climate change, economic inequalities, and resource-based governance. Through an interdisciplinary approach, HoPE Nexus offers participants opportunities to engage in activities like serious games, AI-driven simulations, and virtual field trips, enhancing their understanding and capability to devise adaptive governance models. By merging global strategies with local knowledge and encouraging decolonial perspectives, we aim to rethink environmental governance and design forward-thinking solutions. Together, we invite students, experts, policymakers, and communities alike to join in crafting resilient and sustainable futures.
Connected Community Activities
CENSE – Warwick Training School (26-31 July 2026)
In July 2026, 26 PhD and early-career researchers will gather at the Convento da Arrábida in the Arrábida Natural Park in Portugal to critically reflect on ‘People and Nature (lack of) Connectedness’, which is the theme of this first edition of the CENSE-Warwick Advanced Training School.
Through a programme of lectures, workshops, creative sessions, and group work, this Summer School seeks innovative ways to reverse declining human–nature relationships, especially in urban contexts. We aim to shape new connections between people and nature in research and everyday life (hands-on experience), and identify pathways to scale these initiatives.
