What are the key concepts for addressing today’s marine and coastal challenges?
These daunting challenges require not only outstanding basic science research and analytical skills, but also the soft capacities of empathy and self-reflection that come from recognizing the plurality of human experience across time and space. As we stand at the brink of a radical change, driven by an ecological and social crisis, any implementation strategies will need to encompass different knowledge domains and call for the collaboration of multiple actors.
The redeMAR ULisboa Summer School: “One Ocean: a multidisciplinary approach to marine and coastal challenges”, offers, therefore, a unique moment to combine your talents with the resources of this ambitious group in a shared brainstorming experience about our common possible futures and to contribute to the development of knowledge-based solutions to face threats and create opportunities.
In this way, ULisboa welcomes undergraduate students from both international and national backgrounds who are eager to explore the current challenges of our Ocean from ecological, technological, societal, historical, and several other perspectives, regardless of their base area of knowledge or nationality.
The course will run from 3rd to 7th July and will cost 250€.
