This will be the 8th in IMBeR’s Climate and Eco systems (ClimEco) Summer School series. ClimEco summer schools ar e designed for 60-70 post-graduate students and early career researchers, a nd are led by an extraordinary interdisciplinary group of marine scientists , many who are leaders in their respective fields.
ClimEco8 will be held from 19-24 June 2023 at the ZRS -Mediterranean Institute for Environmental Studies in Koper, Slovenia
Focus of ClimEco8
The United Nations declared 2021- 2030 as the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The obj ective is to motivate international efforts aimed at improving ocean health by providing the science necessary for sustainable development of the ocea ns to underpin ‘The ocean we need for the future we want’. Achieving this, however, needs more than more than ‘just’ more data and knowledge. It will require new approaches for understanding and tackling complex socio-ecologi cal problems in their entirety. It will require an increased focus on build ing ocean literacy and public support for ocean futures. It also needs scie ntists and decision-makers to identify how to facilitate the use of availab le science and encourage the necessary change of behaviours, and the implem entation of policies— at individual, local and global scales — that will le verage greater environmental benefit. The task at hand is a challenging one , that will require scientists to be able to work across disciplines, acros s knowledge systems, and with a diversity of stakeholders.
To this en d, IMBeR will convene its 8th International ClimEco Summer School (ClimEco8 ), in Koper, Slovenia, to help develop the next generation of marine resear chers who will be at the forefront of addressing ocean challenges. Under th e guidance of a group of internationally-recognised experts from the marine natural and social sciences, students, postdocs and early career scientist s will develop a strong theoretical and applied understanding of different disciplines, and how they can be integrated to help generate solutions to t he grand challenges facing the world’s oceans. To complement this, particip ants will also gain practical skills in science communication and how to op erate effectively at the science-policy-society interface, so that they can influence decision-making processes in relation to the world’s oceans – to help secure the ocean we need, for the future we want!
