The Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) of the VU University Amsterdam welcomes applications for the 2008 European PhD Summer School on Earth System Governance (SENSE course S460).
The 2008 PhD Summer School on Earth System Governance aims to help students to better understand the causes of global change in an integrated manner and at the same time to develop options for the governance of a transition to more sustainable development paths at the national and global levels. It brings together insights from the modeling, integrated assessment, and sustainability science communities and from the social science, governance-oriented research communities.
The 2008 PhD Summer School on Earth System Governance will be held from 24-31 August 2008 at the Institute for Environmental Studies of the VU University Amsterdam. The Summer School is jointly organised by the IVM Department of Environmental Policy Analysis (EPA) and the Netherlands Research School for Socio-Economic and Natural Sciences of the Environment (SENSE). Financial support by the Climate changes Spatial Planning Programme (KvR) is gratefully acknowledged.
We will cover the basic costs of the summer school for all participants, including a travel subsidy for non-Dutch participants, accommodation, lunch, tea and coffee, the teaching materials and a number of social events. The admission fee is €150 for European participants and €100 for non-European participants.
In addition to participating in the lectures and class discussions, a number of students have the opportunity to present their current research to a group of distinguished experts for intense discussion. If you want your work to be discussed in a PhD masterclass, please attach an abstract of your paper to the application material.
To apply, please send a letter of motivation and a full CV to Kenneth.Hansen@ivm.vu.nl until 15 March 2008. Applicants will be notified no later than 15 April 2008.
