The
European
Association of Environmental and
Resource Economists
(EAERE), Fondazione
Eni Enrico Mattei
(FEEM) and Venice
International University
(VIU) are pleased to announce their annual
European Summer School in Resource and
Environmental Economics for postgraduate
students.
The 2013 Summer School will take place from June 30th to July 6th, at the VIU campus on the Island of San Servolo, in Venice, located just in front of St. Mark’s Square. The theme of this Summer School is Uncertainty, Innovation and Climate Change.
Uncertainty is a key component of climate change policy making. Although the anthropogenic warming of the planet is unquestioned, there still exist large uncertainties affecting several dimensions of the problem. From the severity and rapidity of changes, to effectiveness of innovation, the future is crucially characterised by uncertainty.

From the severity and rapidity of changes, to effectiveness of innovation, the future is crucially characterised by uncertainty.
The
Summer School will be of interest for
students who have a thorough understanding
of climate change economics and would like
to contribute with original work focusing
on the stochastic dimension of the
problem.
The
lectures will broadly cover:
- modelling tools to deal with uncertainty;
- expert elicitation of uncertain processes (with a specific focus on innovation process);
- risk perception and behavioral responses to risk and uncertainty related to climate change;
- integrated assessment modelling of climate change under uncertainty.

ADMISSION
AND SCHOLARSHIPS
The
Summer School is targeted to PhD and
postgraduate students. Admission is
conditional on the presentation of each
student's doctoral work; therefore PhD
students who want to apply normally need
to be advanced in their PhD to have
produced at least one substantive
chapter, but not to have necessarily
completely finished their thesis.
Application is restricted to 2013 EAERE members, both European and non-European citizens. Given the highly interactive activities planned at the Summer School, the number of participants is limited to 20.
There is no participation fee. All applicants can apply for a scholarship.
For further information on application and funding please access the Summer School Website at www.feem.it/ess/ or contact the Summer School Secretariat.
