CLIMATE CHANGE INNOVATION
is an exciting opportunity for students and young researchers to get in touch with Europe’s leading scientific and innovation community on climate change mitigation and adaptation. You will get hands-on experience of how the latest science is translated into new services products that have an impact on our climate and our economy. During the summer school, you will study all aspects influencing the market for climate change innovation, such as policy, legal and financial incentives and constraints. You will acquire the knowledge and skills that are essential for you to become a successful innovator in the field of climate change.
Teaming up to make a change
In multidisciplinary teams, you will develop your solutions to mitigate climate change and to adapt to a changing climate. You will investigate the possibilities of creating successful new ventures. Climate Change Innovation will end with a business plan competition.
