International Summer School, Svalbard, 9-19 June (3 March)
The NVP International Summer School in Svalbard is open for applications until 3 March.
Specifically designed for PhD students and Postdocs, the 2024 summer school is set to explore the increasing global significance of the Arctic, underscoring how climate change is transforming its environment and impacting geopolitical, ecological, and socio-economic dynamics. This edition will particularly highlight the shared challenges of the Arctic, Antarctic and Himalayas. The curriculum is highly interdisciplinary, and a major objective is to train young scholars to think across disciplinary boundaries when they discuss applied and complex issues.
Scheduled from 9 to 19 June, the programme is split between theoretical sessions in Longyearbyen and practical fieldwork at the Isfjord Radio station. It is hosted by The Norwegian Scientific Academy for Polar Research (NVP), in partnership with The University Centre in Svalbard.
If you are selected, there is a 6000 NOK fee (~£450) to cover accommodation, some meals and boat transport.
