The time of the summer school is not really ’summer’ in England (and it’s certainly not summer in the Arctic), but it is held then so as to coincide with the final conference of the Durham-based ICE LAW Project (see event here). The ICE LAW Project is fairly social-science-oriented, but the Summer School is intended to cover the breadth of disciplines. Indeed, it could provide a particularly good opportunity for Early Career Researchers in the physical sciences to practice (and learn about) engagement with the social sciences, as the attendees will include world leaders in Arctic social sciences.

Information on the 2019 summer school, including details for applying for a student bursary, can be found at https://www.dur.ac.uk/arctic/conference/.
