We invite talented scientists to our next winter school in Obergurgl
The Hub is happy to announce a second winter school in 2022.
Like in 2019, we will meet in Obergurgl again, a high-altitude winter sports village in Tyrol. Find here some impressions from 2019.
The guiding theme of these four intensive days with morning and afternoon classes—interspersed with some winter sports or sauna visits in the afternoon—is the Green Transition.
How to manage a just Green Transition?
Huge challenges ahead! The technological, socio-economic, and behavioral changes the Green Transition requires will most liekly lead to enormous social tensions and resistance. While slowing down the warming of the planet, we will at the same time have to fight for social stability, our democratic values, and other achievements of a “modern” society, a healthy life worth living.
Great themes, great names
The aim of the 2022 CSH Winter School is to expose young, talented, and interested scientists to the grand challenges of the Green Transition, the facts as well as the bottlenecks behind it. We would like to emphasize where natural, social, network and complexity science are needed and what they can contribute to making a sustainable transition happen.
We were able to gain some top-notch complexity scientists and experts in climate change as lecturers.
Our dear friend and External Faculty member Geoffrey West will come from the Santa Fe Institute to introduce us to a Sustainable Urbanism.
Stefan Rahmstorf from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research choose “Climate & Environment” as a headline.
Sigrid Stagl from the Institute for Ecological Economics at the Vienna University of Economics and Business investigates Ecological Economics.
Ilona Otto from the Wegener Center in Graz introduces to Social Impacts of Climate Change.
And prof. emer. Georg Brasseur from Graz Technological University talks about Energy.
Who can participate?
Graduate students, PostDocs and senior researchers with a proficient background in science and/or mathematics are invited to apply until December 10, 2021.
We look forward to hearing from you!
