Dear Colleagues,
COST Action IS0802 on the Transformation of Global Environmental Governance now welcomes applications for the 2010 PhD Training School on 'Global Environmental Governance: The Multidisciplinary Approach', to be held at Mykolas Romeris University (Vilnius, Lithuania), from 27 to 30 September 2010. This event is aimed at PhD students in the social sciences working on issues related to the thematic focus of the training school. It will address the general theme of global environmental governance and in particular its methodological challenges. Students will study novel ways of integrating insights from different disciplines, ranging from International Relations to environmental law and policy, and guided by internationally leading researchers. This program will help students deepen their understanding of the causes of global change in an integrated manner, and at the same time to develop options for the governance of a transition to more sustainable development paths at the national and global levels. The training school will address these methodological challenges with reference to a number of core problem areas, such as climate change, biodiversity, water management and global forestry. To apply, please send your CV with a short motivation letter to: [email protected]. The deadline for applications is 1 August 2010. Please note that travel and accommodation will be covered for participants from countries that are members to this COST Action (see a list of participating countries at http://transformation-geg.org/team/management-committee). For further information, please do not hesitate to contact Ms Ieva Kapaciauskaite: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
