60 Environmental Studies & Earth Sciences Summer School

Sustainability - Social Ecology Summer School
Sustainability - Social Ecology Summer School at University of Pécs aims to provide students with a holistic understanding of sustainability by combining theoretical lectures with practical engagement.

Global Challenges - Sustainable Futures
The Global Challenges - Sustainable Futures course at Freie Universität Berlin introduces students to the politics, governance and ethics of sustainability.

Pathways to a Better Future - Concepts and Projects for a Transformation to Sustainability
The Pathways to a Better Future - Concepts and Projects for a Transformation to Sustainability course from Freie Universität Berlin introduces students to the grand challenges of today’s world (for example climate change, loss of biodiversity, the crossing of planetary boundaries) and the necessity for action to save the conditions for human life on this planet.

Summer Programme With 2 Modules
Combine one of our academic summer schools with the Debate Academy for a truly transformative experience. Summer Programme With 2 Modules is offered at University of Pécs.

Summer Academy - Sustainable Finance
Summer Academy in Sustainable Finance from Frankfurt School of Finance and Management is transforming the financial sector. Expanding ESG regulation, climate risk requirements, carbon accounting standards, biodiversity frameworks, and transition finance strategies are redefining how financial institutions manage risk, allocate capital, and create long-term value.

Biology
The Oxford Summer Courses programme in Biology introduces curious students to life science through tutor-led learning in small classes. Investigate living systems, from anatomy to ecology, with practical challenges and discussions that build confidence and scientific thinking.

Urban Economics. Key Drivers of City Development
The Urban Economics. Key Drivers of City Development course at Freie Universität Berlin provides an introduction to the field of urban economics. It focuses on stylized facts, basic microeconomic concepts, and empirical applications. Special attention is paid to social problems in cities, including housing, public transit, crime, and the role of local governments.

Ecology: Living Landscapes in the West of Ireland
The new and exciting Ecology: Living Landscapes in the West of Ireland course of the University of Galway offers students practical experience of the natural environment in the west of Ireland. It provides students with survey skills to identify natural resources, and develops their skills to evaluate the sustainable use and conservation of Ireland’s ecological resources.

Integrated Water Monitoring Assessment Across Time and Scale
Mineral water holds both exclusive socio-economic value and deep cultural value significance.The complexity of water-rock interaction processes requires integrated and multidisciplinary approaches for their effective characterization.This Summer School will offer a comprehensive, field-based learning experience, covering a broad range of topics crucial to the study of mineral and thermal waters

Leveraging Ecological Economics to Advance the Sustainability Transition
Upon completion of the summer school, students will understand the founding epistemological and analytical tools of ecological economics, which will be used to explore current sustainability challenges and the recent concepts of post growth/degrowth.

The City and the Water
The International Summer School “The City and the Water”, since 2014, is a Design Full-Time Workshop, aimed at investigating the complex relationships between the built environment and the water, in its broadest meaning of environmental resource, and therefore including seaside, rivers, lakes and water resources.

Introduction to Machine Learning and Deep Learning in Geosciences
This is an introductory-level course of Machine Learning. The aim of this course is to provide an overview of the main machine learning methods and their application to geophysical, geochemical, geological and environmental data.

Framing Livestock and Agriculture Innovation, Resilience and Sustainability (FLAIRS)
The program will provide theoretical and practical training on the definition, framing, and dissection of the environmental and economic sustainability (with hints on the social aspects) in agri-livestock systems and its value chain, with particular emphasis on the integration of plant and animal production with natural environments, and their interaction with the needs of the human societies.

Fiber-Optic Sensing for Geological, Geophysical and Environmental Applications
Fiber-optic sensing has rapidly emerged as a transformative tech for monitoring/understanding many geological, geophysical & environmental processes. By exploiting existing TC infrastructure or purpose-built cables, it enables high-resolution measurements across large spatial/temporal scales, opening new perspectives in environmental monitoring, natural hazard assessment & geophysical exploration.

Reinventing Rural: Transformative Solutions in Innovative Rural Areas, the Tuscany Case
This Summer School explores how small farms impact on transformative solutions in innovative rural areas while contributing to local prosperity and food and services provisioning for the society.

Introduction to Python for Geoscience Applications
The Summer School aims to provide students with the basic concepts of Python software and, through practical exercises on a computer running Python, to address some of the most common applications in the field of geosciences.
Geology Field Camp in Scotland
The School of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews runs a 5-week Geology Field Camp in Scotland committed to delivering in-depth training capitalising on a rich geological heritage and unparalleled opportunity to experience geology in the field.
Strengthening Democracies, Building Resilience and Resistance to Information Disorders
This summer school offers a structured exploration of information disorders and their impact on democratic societies.
Feeding the billions - Challenges and Innovation in Food and Water Security
The Feeding the Billions - Challenges and Innovation in Food and Water Security course offered by Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam develops expertise in sustainable resource management, agricultural resilience, nutrition systems, global food governance, and value-chain innovation.
Sustainable Cities and Societies
The Sustainable Cities and Societies course from UCL Summer School will focus on the intersection of the climate crisis, energy demand, buildings and the wellbeing of people.
