Bergen Summer Research School 2017 - Global Challenges
Global challenges affect us all. This summer, from 12-22 June, 2017, Bergen Summer Research School presents six PhD courses dealing with some of the most pressing global challenges, ranging from migration, higher education, global health, water management, poverty, and the use of language, taking place at the University of Bergen.
Six disciplinary courses will next summer focus on migration, the role of higher education, global health, water management, poverty, and the impact language has on global challenges.
The courses will be tied together by common sessions on research tools, writing and presentation skills, joint keynotes by high-profile researchers, plenary discussions, and an excursion into the Norwegian waterscape.
Application deadline is March 1, 2017.
BSRS seeks to create a unique environment for the participants to present, engage, discuss, progress their thinking, and improve on their work. This is the tenth summer Bergen organizes this cross-disciplinary PhD-level summer research school on global challenges.
Bergen Summer Research School is a joint effort by the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, Chr. Michelsen Institute, NHH Norwegian School of Economics, Uni Research, and the University of Bergen.
