International Summer School "Monitoring and early warnings in mountain social-ecological systems"

The Summer School is organised by Gorno-Altaisk State University (Russia) and Siberian Federal University (Krasnoyarsk, Russia) in cooperation with Russian and international partners. It is designed as an “action school” set to explore and find solutions to real life problems, with Altai Mountains, one of the Russia’s-highest mountain system, set as the case study area. The School will include research methodology training and group work on multidisciplinary research projects. The goal of the Summer School is to support sustainable governance of mountainous socio-ecological systems in Southern Siberia and beyond through the promotion of European expertise in problem framing and development of sustainable solutions for high mountains under the ever increasing pressure from tourism, recreation, urbanisation as well as global environmental change, such as climate change and large-scale environmental pollution. The School target audience are senior master’s and PhD students, junior researchers and faculty, as well as civil servants, environmental activists and anyone interested in the management and governance of mountain systems, EU studies, and governance of natural resources in general.
The School working language is English. We are expecting, however, that most of our participants will come from Russia, and we will be working on eliminating the language barrier; on the measures we are taking towards this is our preparatory School in Krasnoyarsk.
