Objective
The applicants propose a series of four Marie Curie Summer Schools on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change. The summer schools would be held back-to-back with the annual European Conferences on the Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change (European Conferences), which are endorsed by the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP), as well as by major European research programmes. Combining the Summer School series with the European Conferences will benefit European researchers in their early career stages, by enabling them to participate in a conference series of international reputation (through a contribution to participant fees) and by ensuring a high level of quality of lecturers (because keynote speakers and other senior conference speakers can be recruited to give lectures at the Summer School).
The summer schools would occur annually over the period from 2007 to 2010. Each summer school will be ten days' duration and bring together about 40 young European researchers. The four summer schools will form a consistent and coherent programme of four training events under the overall theme of earth system governance. This theme has been chosen to reflect both the current state of discussion in the field of human dimensions of global environmental change, and the recent attempts at integrating social and natural science research in this field.
This integration stands at the centre of comprehensive models of earth system analysis and sustainability science, which try to bring together most academic disciplines at multiple spatial and temporal scales. To educate and train young European social scientists to participate in these global debates and to shape the future European contribution in the social sciences to this worldwide research programme, is the motivation for this series of Summer Schools.
