Summer School: Mountains in a changing world
This program aims to understand why mountains are considered complex systems and why they are vulnerable to change, to identify the threats they face, to describe the potential effects of these changes, to explore key remediation and mitigation strategies, and to provide essential guidance for mountains undergoing environmental transformations.
The course will begin on 29 June 2026 and will conclude on 10 July 2026. Mountains in a Changing World combines multidisciplinary lectures (ranging from mountain formation and environmental processes to water resource management, snow, glaciers, and avalanches, as well as botany) with on-campus activities and field trips, allowing participants to directly observe the numerous effects of climate change on the Alpine environment, including the Lautaret Botanical Garden.
In 2026, a second week is planned, focusing on the social and economic challenges posed by the rapid changes currently taking place in mountain environments.
For more information and registration, please visit the initiative website or contact Faculte-sciences-RI.
Application deadline: 17 April 2026.
