With its overarching theme – “THE SKIN OF THE PLANET – THE EARTH SURFACE SYSTEM“ – this Summer School will continue the transdisciplinary and interactive event series that has been held annually in Potsdam, Germany since 2014. The aim is to bring together talented early-career scientists and young professionals from the private sector, governmental agencies and non-governmental organisations in many different parts of the world to discuss frontier research questions on future sustainable development. In this context, the Potsdam Summer School provides a unique opportunity for all participants to foster international cooperation and an exchange of ideas.

The fifth Potsdam Summer School will address the following central questions:

  • Why is the earth surface system dynamic?
  • What are the triggers for dynamic processes?
  • What are possible societal adaptation strategies for sustainable land management?

The following topics will structure the discussions:

  • Beneath the Surface: Drivers, Triggers, and Forces for Dynamic Changes
  • At the Surface I: The Role, Function, and Traits of the Earth Surface for the Evolution of Life
  • At the Surface II: The Role, Function, and Traits of the Earth Surface for the Human Habitat
  • Land Management to feed the Earth
  • Different Approaches in Land Management
  • The Role of the Oceans in the Earth Surface System
  • Above the Surface: Earth Surface System and Climate Impact
  • From the Surface: How the Earth Surface has been shaped in the Anthropocene

The organisers are looking forward to receiving applications from young professionals from various backgrounds to explore with us the relevance and challenges of an evidence-based approach to inclusive governance and geo-governance for sustainable futures.

The entire Summer School will be conducted in English.

The call for applications will start on 12th February 2018. The deadline for submitting completed applications will be 30th April 2018.
