In line with COSIMENA’s goal to tackle today’s global challenges by fostering scientific collaboration, the COSIMENA Summer School – a cooperation with Freie Universität Berlin – aims at training young researchers to become critical experts on achieving climate resilience and adaptation through scientific innovation. This year’s summer school will tackle two of the topics that are vital for all 7 clusters of COSIMENA: Economy and Ecology.
