About Our Summer School

Our Summer School aims to bring together an exceptional group of students to explore ideas and share insights into pathways to knowledge about new sustainability and debates. This summer event also provides trainees from local and partner universities with the opportunity to work on current sustainability topics in interdisciplinary and intercultural teams.

Focus is given not only to sharing theoretical knowledge, but also to solving specific problems.
