Politics of the Earth - Centre Virchow
 EDGE International
Summer School
Politics of the Earth
4-9 September 2016
Paris
As the world has entered a new
geological epoch, the Anthropocene,
where humans have become the main
forces of transformation of the planet,
this Summer School intends to break
away from disciplinary divides and
bring a fresh look on the key issues
brought upon by this ‘age of humans’.
Combining natural sciences and social
sciences, it seeks to provide students
with a framework to think the Earth and
the World together.
The Summer School is designed for
graduate students and PhD candidates
from all disciplines. It is the first of a
series of three, supported by the EDGE
project: Environmental Diplomacy and
Geopolitics.
More information on
www.politiquesdelaterre.fr
Audience
The Summer School is intended for 40
graduate and doctoral students from all
disciplines and countries.
No
prerequisite is needed. We will seek to
create a group as diverse as possible, in
order to maximise the interactions
between students.
The EDGE Project
The Summer School is part of the EDGE
Project: Environmental Diplomacy and
Geopolitics. EDGE is a joint project between
Sciences Po, the University of Economics in
Bratislava (EUBA) and the University of
Liège (ULg). It is supported by the Horizon
2020 EU Framework Programme for
Research and Innovation. The Summer
School is the first of a series of three. The
2017 and 2018 editions shall be
organised
by
EUBA
and
Ulg,
respectively.
Programme
The programme features a diverse,
international faculty to address five key
issues of the Anthropocene: disasters,
climate change, health, biodiversity and
cities. These issues are brought together
through cross-cutting lectures and
seminars. Each day will feature lectures
by renowned faculty, workshops and
social activities. All sessions will be
conducted in English. Programme
subject to changes.
