2nd GMOS-Train Webinar by Mr Eisaku Toda, on Monday, March 15th at 12 PM (CET).
Mr Eisaku Toda, Senior Programme Officer of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, will present the history, content, implementation status and future direction of the Convention.
The online lecture will last for maximum 90 minutes, followed by discussion. After the session Prof Noelle E. Selin from MIT will provide the PhD students with short introduction to a Mercury Game and group assignments.
For environmental studies students, the mercury simulation demonstrates how scientific uncertainty can affect decision-making. Using the mercury game as an educational tool allows students to learn about complex interactions between science and society and develop communication skills. At this opportunity the students will receive all the required instructions and literature to play the interactive game with Prof Selin on Monday, March 22nd. You will receive an additional zoom invitation for this event.
It should be noted that this training will provide an opportunity for all ESRs to attend the COP5 meeting scheduled for 2023. In cooperation with all beneficiaries and ESRs, special scientific meetings will be organized where all ESRs will have an opportunity to follow the political decision-making process in the field of research that is the subject of your doctoral dissertations. As an example, you may visit the COP3 process here.

Event Details:
- Date: Friday, July 19, 2024

ADDITIONAL INFO
On July 19th, we have arranged a transfer at 7:30 am from Entrance 1 of the CTICC (Cape Town International Convention Centre). This entrance is opposite the Westin Hotel.
The Cape Peninsula University of Technology’s new Science and Engineering building is located in Belleville, a suburb of Cape Town approximately 40 km from the city center. This is why we need to start our journey to the venue early. Please do not be late.
On July 20th (Saturday), we will gather at the same place. Please be at Entrance 1 of the CTICC, opposite the Westin Hotel, at 8:30 am for departure at 9:00 am at the latest.
Currently, many roads have been affected by heavy and continuous rain. We trust that the roads will be in better condition and that our scenic routes will be open and safe.
I suggest that everyone dress warmly and comfortably. Wear comfortable shoes as we might walk up to the weather station, which is a 10-15 minute walk depending on one’s fitness level. It can be cold and windy in that area, especially now in winter.
Our itinerary includes visiting the Cape of Good Hope, spending some time at the weather station, and then continuing our tour to the penguin colony in Simon’s Town. From there, we will make our way back to Cape Town via the False Bay side, passing through Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay, Boyes Drive, and onto the M3.
