Deadline for applications: February 1st, 2013
The European Association of
Environmental and Resource Economists (EAERE), Fondazione Eni Enrico
Mattei (FEEM) and Venice International
University (VIU) are pleased to announce their annual
European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics for postgraduate
students.
The 2013 Summer School will take place from June 30th to
July 6th, at the VIU campus on the Island of San Servolo, in Venice,
located just in front of St. Mark’s Square. The theme of this Summer School
is Uncertainty, Innovation and Climate
Change.
Uncertainty is a key component of climate change
policy making. Although the anthropogenic warming of the planet is unquestioned,
there still exist large uncertainties affecting several dimensions of the
problem. From the severity and rapidity of changes, to effectiveness of
innovation, the future is crucially characterised by uncertainty.
The Summer School will be of interest for students who have a thorough understanding of climate change economics and would like to contribute with original work focusing on the stochastic dimension of the problem.
The
lectures will broadly cover:
- modelling tools to deal with uncertainty;
- expert elicitation of uncertain processes (with a specific focus on
innovation process);
- risk perception and behavioral responses to risk and
uncertainty related to climate change;
- integrated assessment modelling of
climate change under uncertainty.

ADMISSION AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The Summer School is targeted to PhD and
postgraduate students. Admission is conditional on the presentation of each
student's doctoral work; therefore PhD students who want to apply normally need
to be advanced in their PhD to have produced at least one substantive chapter,
but not to have completely finished their thesis.
Application is restricted
to 2013 EAERE members, both European and non-European citizens. Given the highly
interactive activities planned at the Summer School, the number of participants
is limited to 20.
There is no participation fee. All applicants can apply for
a scholarship.
For further information on application and funding please

School Secretariat.
