SUMMER CAMP ON ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY

Description

EURENSSA is an one-week open-air meeting for students from all over Europe, studying programmes related to environment & sustainability. The idea of EURENSSA is to learn more about the environment and its related subjects during field trips and workshops, to gain new knowledge during lectures held by experts and to share your experiences. It is a possibility to apply your unique knowledge in a different environment and to compare the aspects of environmental sciences in various countries and research fields. Another important aspect of EURENSSA is to make new international friends with similar interests, and have a lot of fun, of course. EURENSSA 2015 will take place 1. – 8. August in Germany in Saxon Switzerland region.

This year’s topic is The blind Men and the Elephant-Interdisciplinary Environmental Research and the programme is divided into three sessions:

   - Environmental Ethics;
   - Ecology vs. Economy;
   - Environmental Engineering, Analytics and Modelling. They are looking for highly motivated students with all different kind of
     backgrounds (e.g. ecology, management, engineering, earth/environ. sciences, sustainable development,…) to explore environmental
     issues in an interdisciplinary context.


Eligibility
