Samuel Lietaer

For three years in a row, Samuel supervised the seminar "Controversies related to environmental and climate migration" in the framework of the course "Conflicts, resources and environment" (ENVI-F-504) given by prof. François Gemenne.
He also participates in the supervision of students' dissertations in the field of research on mobility in relation to environmental change. He provides support to students in the framework of Interdisciplinary Projects (PID 1 and 2).

In terms of public lectures, Samuel responds positively to the call of different institutions and organisations, both academic and associative, to disseminate the knowledge resulting from his field research.

Taking a posture of a committed academic, he is open to requests for contributions to public debates, notably through meetings with ley public but also with the press and the media.

Samuel is also engaged in the citizen's climate movement, notably through Climate Express, the Belgian Climate Coalition and Climate Voices.
