Summer School RIKEN BSI Japan

The RIKEN Brain Science Institute (RIKEN BSI), located just outside Tokyo, Japan, offers a summer program to train advanced students interested in brain function. Applicants may choose either a two-month laboratory internship (Plan A) within a RIKEN BSI laboratory, or participate in an intensive 11-day lecture course (Plan B) featuring a distinguished international faculty. Those participating in the internship may also enroll in the lecture course.

Typically, around 45 international students are accepted to the Summer Program each year. Attendees have wide-ranging academic backgrounds and are usually enrolled in graduate courses, or have recently embarked on postdoctoral research. However, candidates holding other positions are encouraged to apply.

Attendees usually reside on/near the RIKEN campus, where they have ample opportunity to interact with invited lecturers, other attendees and RIKEN BSI researchers. Students unable to provide their own financial support will be considered for travel and accommodation bursaries provided by RIKEN BSI.

"Image Processing" Graduate Summer School

"Image Processing" Graduate Summer School 

Utah , SAD

The Graduate Summer School bridges the gap between a general graduate education in mathematics and the specific preparation necessary to do research on problems of current interest. In general, these students will have completed their first year, and in some cases, may already be working on a thesis. While a majority of the participants will be graduate students, some postdoctoral scholars and researchers may also be interested in attending. 

A graduate course in analysis and one in linear algebra plus some programing experience are strongly recommended. The main activity of the Graduate Summer School will be a set of intensive short lectures offered by leaders in the field, designed to introduce students to exciting, current research in mathematics. These lectures will not duplicate standard courses available elsewhere. Each course will consist of lectures with problem sessions. Course assistants will be available for each lecture series. The participants of the Graduate Summer School meet three times each day for lectures, with one or two problem sessions scheduled each day as well.

CfA: EAERE-FEEM-VIU European Summer School "Climate Change Negotiations

The 2010 Summer School will take place from the 4th to the 10th of July in Venice. The theme of this Summer School is Climate Change Negotiations.

Pollution does not respect political boundaries. Classic examples of transboundary pollution include acid deposition, climate change, pollution of the North Sea or the Black Sea, and damage to the stratospheric ozone layer. Transboundary pollution can have regional effects on local ecosystems (e.g., acid deposition in a particular
country) or worldwide impacts on global public goods (e.g., biodiversity loss due to climate change). Countries should be working together to address these pollution problems – the responsibility for reducing any risk to local or global goods must ultimately be shared among nations that benefit.

The challenge is that although nations have a common interest to protect themselves, they may or may not have a national interest to abate pollution voluntary at a socially optimal level. This creates an incentive for one country to free ride off the abatement effort of other nations because no one can be prevented from enjoying the abatement efforts, regardless of whether they abate or not.

The purpose of the proposed summer school is to describe some of the key issues emerging from the economic analysis of these transboundary pollution, global public good problems, and environmental conflict. We focus on climate change as an important example of a global environmental problem requiring global solutions. The school will have two parts. The first part will be devoted to the theoretical models on international environmental agreements based on game theory. This review of the basic models will be extended to include dynamic models and the analysis of uncertainty on the scope of cooperation. The second part of the school will focus on some of the climate-economy integrated assessment models elaborated to evaluate the effects of
different climate policies.

Summer Course in Romany Studies

There are scores of academically trained civil servants and NPO activists working to reduce poverty, discrimination and increase social integration of Roma. There are many academic researchers scattered through Europe working on similar topics. The links in this field between research and policy are weak. This summer course, preceded by an E-seminar in spring, will connect professionals who are aware of each other but lack a framework for learning from each other's work to build a strong European network for research-informed policy work on Romany issues.

The fundamental forum of this course will be workshop- and seminar-based discussions of theoretical issues, best practice and case studies in the field. These will be complemented by a few formal (lecture-like) presentations. A significant role will be given to presentations by course participants in order to cultivate a strong, supportive but critical culture where trainees engage with each others' work and challenges. The course will also contain a practical exercise in devising policy papers on particular issues, with a number of small working parties producing these under supervision from senior faculty.

Topics covered include Racism, culturalism and social exclusion; Evaluation programs in Romany policy; Ethnic monitoring: legal and practical issues; Equality policy; Resources for building linguistic diversity with special reference to Romani; How roma community studies can be used in policy formation in a new member state; Marginality, multiculturalism and policies towards Roma in new Member states; Roma demographic studies and their policy assumptions; Demographic policies and health interventions among the poor in Eastern Europe.

Applications are invited from academics (junior faculty, MA or PhD students, researchers) from the fields of anthropology, sociology, European studies, history, public policy, linguistics, political science, law and human rights, economics, human geography, urban studies, public administration and social policy as well as from practitioners, policy-makers, NPOs, and civil servants.

Summer School on Biomedical and Health Informatics

The 1st Summer School on Biomedical and Health Informatics will take place in Samos Island, during 19 - 24 July of 2010. The course is our first endeavour to develop and establish a high-level educational session where PhD candidates, academics and practitioners could meet. Well-known professors in the field of Health share their expertise with participants who crave in indulge in topics of influential scientific weight. Exchanging of ideas, sharing experience of practice, enhancing the concepts of scientific research are just few of the main orientations of the 1st Summer School on Biomedical and Health Informatics.

The course's high quality of provided knowledge is collaborated by the superior proficiency of lecturing professors, the prominent infrastructure of Research and Training Institute of East Aegean and the eagerness of the organising committee to modulate a outstanding event in the Academia.

Apart from the high level education, participants will be able to get familiar with a Greek island that compounds History with Present, East with West, mountains with seashores. Samos Island is the place where participants could enjoy Science with culture, cuisine and architecture.

The tuition fees for the participation into the 1st Summer School in Samos Island will be €1000. Late registration deadline for participants should be 30th of June, 2010.

Summer Course in EU Law

The course is an advanced course in European Law and is most suited to those with a prior knowledge of European Union law. It is also suitable for anyone at postgraduate level working in a law-related environment with an interest in European Union law. Though applicants with an academic background in law are ideal, this is not an essential pre-requisite to take part. The course is aimed at deepening and/or updating previous knowledge in EU Law. Each lecture will deal with certain selected issues which the lecturer deems of current relevance. The areas will therefore not be covered comprehensively, but selectively. The course is therefore also not suited to those who seek to further their doctoral studies in a particular area..

Normally all applications are accepted, but the Centre reserves the right to reject applications at the course director's discretion should this be considered necessary either in the individual's or the group's interest.
