XIII ESPI Summer School of Economic Policy

WHAT DOES THE XIII ESPI SUMMER SCHOOL HAVE TO OFFER?
July 12th - 23rd July 2010.

The Economic and Social Policy Institute is organizing the 13th annual Summer School of Economic Policy. It was started in 1998, triggered by the need to provide education about emerging market economy and contemporary economic trends that were excluded from the formal system of education at the time. Since the Summer School gathers students from the entire region of the Western Balkans, it not only offers students the opportunity to learn from distinguished lecturers, both from Serbia and abroad, but also the chance to meet their peers from the region, and establish friendships and networks that will be important in their future careers.

The focus of the Summer School is on economic policy, and its related fields, such as social policy, education and labor market policies, issues of poverty and inequality, etc. Students will have the opportunity to attend lectures from leading experts in the field of economic and social policy. A further topic is institutional development in the context of economic development. Issues of poverty, inequality and living standard development in some of the European countries will be presented in the context of long run economic perspectives. In addition, certain recommendations and experiences will be highlighted for the developing countries and for Serbia as well. The proper place of financial capital in the modern economic system, a topic of special interest today, and the one which brings forward the loudest calls for state regulation and intervention, will also be presented. In connection with this, different views could be found regarding to the concrete steps that should be taken to solve the consequences of the economic crisis.

TThe students of economics, law and social sciences from the region will have a possibility to share their critical views with the lecturers from both academia and practice. The students will have the opportunity to attend the lectures given by the professors from the prestigious world and local universities. The lecturers who confirmed their participation at the Summer School so far are: Branko Milanović, John Hopkins University and the World Bank, U.S.A.; Barbara Kolm, F.A.v. Hayek Institut, Austria; David Bailey, Coventry University, U.K; Dušan Vujović, World Bank U.S.A. and Singidunum University, Belgrade; Leandro Prados de la Escosura, Universidad Carlos III, Spain; Mark Gradstein, Ben Gurion University, Israel; Mihail Arandarenko, University of Belgrade and Foundation for the Advancement of Economics etc.

Furthermore, students will have an excellent opportunity to find out more about how economic policy making looks like "from the inside", as they will attend lectures by the head of the Republic of Serbia's Securities Commission, Milko Štimac, Vice-president of the Serbian Government and Minister for the Economy and Regional Development, Mlađan Dinkić, and the Governor of the National Bank of Serbia, Radovan Jelašić. Students will also have opportunity to meet representatives of the diplomatic core and international organizations in Serbia, who usually teach the Summer School participants lessons on the democratization of the society and on the role of international organizations in Serbia and the region.

The Bauhaus Summer Academy 2010, Bauhaus-Universität Weimar, Germany

Srbija: Letnji kamp engleskog jezika SpeakUp

Kamp engleskog jezika "Speak up" održava se vec četiri godine. Potrebne kvalifikacije su - da si student univerziteta u Srbiji, da poseduješ znanje engleskog jezika na Intermediate ili Advanced nivou, otvorenost za upoznavanje različitih kultura i tolerantnost.

Kamp će se održati u Risanu (Crna Gora) od 13. do 19. jula 2010. godine.
Učesnici kampa imaju priliku da svih šest dana, koliko i traje kamp, razgovaraju isključivo na engleskom jeziku, i to s američkim studentima. Svake godine na kampu bude oko 20 studenata univerziteta u Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, koji su tutori našim studentima.

Kamp je zamišljen kao interaktivna, konverzacijska varijanta učenja jezika, sa jutarnjim predavanjem od sat i po, dva popodnevna termina rada u malim grupama i večernjim dešavanjima tipa karaoka, raznim grupnim igrama, talenat-šou, učenja americkog kantri densa...

Zanimljive i dinamične životne teme, sagledane iz hrišćanske perspektive, podstiču učesnike na diskusiju, razmišljanje kao i upoznavanje različitih kultura.

U kampu se poštuje svačije mišljenje, i svako, bez obzira na lična verska ubeđenja, je dobrodošao.

Odlična organizacija, jednostavno prijavljivanje preko sajta, zanimljiva i interaktivna predavanja, rad u malim grupama, druženje sa američkim studentima, sticanje novih znanja, dinamičan odmor na crnogorskom primorju - sve su to razlozi zbog kojih se mnogi studenti odlučuju za pohadjanje ovog kampa, kao i za ponovni boravak.

Svake godine povećava se broj zainteresovanih studenata za ovaj kamp. U protekle četiri godine kamp je ugostio preko 500 učesnika, koji su iz njega poneli prelepe utiske.

Nevladina organizacija Fokus, kao domaćin kampa, sve čini da bi održala kontinuitet ove manifestacije i da bi poboljšala program i uslove rada kampa tako da će i ove godine studenti plaćati samo 110 eura.

Southeast Europe and the EU - Leadership Development Programme

SUMMER CAMP 2010 IN GERMANY “Central Europe meets Southeast Europe"

Aim
To spend three extraordinary weeks together and promote active citizenship, human rights, gender mainstream and Europe

When does the Summer Camp take place?
From 30 July to 20 August 2010

Who will participate?
15 to 16-year-old girls and boys from all regions of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Croatia, Germany, Poland, Montenegro, and Serbia. Altogether, 36 young people and 9 team counsellors will participate. "The participants will come from two European regions, both of which have gone through a time of conflict and war. In the case of the Central European countries, the memories are still present, but the relations between Germany and its Eastern and Western neighbours are now mostly trustful and positive, in particular among young people. In the case of the successor states of former Yugoslavia, the wounds are fresher and the strained relations, both within and between those countries, still need some ongoing effort to re-establish a supportive and cooperative neighbourhood."

Where does the Summer Camp take place?
At the Malteserhof in Königswinter near Bonn. The Malteserhof is a large, old, romantic, halftimbered farmhouse estate, located on the east bank of the Rhine River with direct access to a nature reserve. The rooms are modern. The house is surrounded by a large park with very old trees. Three daily meals – breakfast, lunch and supper – are provided. Special food requests (religious, allergy and vegetarian diets) will be met.

Travel
- Participants from Southeast Europe by plane
- Participants from Central Europe by car or bus, train or plane, whatever is more economical

What can participants expect?
- Sports activities (volleyball, basketball, table tennis, swimming)
- Outdoor activities (raft-building and rafting, climbing, orienteering, adventure games)
- Excursions: Cologne, Bonn, Haus der Geschichte (history museum), Phantasialand (theme park)
- Creative workshops: percussion/music, theatre, circus, LandArt

- Experts will be engaged for creative workshops and discussion rounds, in addition to the team of counsellors.

What is expected of the participants?
- Cheerfulness!
- A good knowledge of English!
- A desire to take an active part in the camp!
- Readiness to be open, fair, social and tolerant!
- Team work!
- Adhere to the strict German laws on youth protection

"As in previous years, the young people from all those countries are given the chance to gain first-hand experience from their “camp mates”, to question stereotypes and to discover that what they share may be more important than what divides them. If successful, the Summer Camp will begin with six national groups, but will end with just one large community."

Insurance
For all participants and counsellors insurance will be taken out to cover accident, personal liability and health care (this also meets the requirements of the visa regulations for the participants from BiH).

Travel costs (except for travel inside the home country), food, accommodation and expenses for all programme elements will be covered by CAMPUS15.

Participation fee

YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL BE TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY AND WILL NOT BE PASSED ON.

What are the next steps?
- We will contact you as soon as we have received your application.
- Usually we have more applicants than we have places at the camp. We will inform you by about the middle of April 2010, whether your application has been accepted or not.

For participants from Bosnia and Herzegovina:
- You will also receive an official Letter of Invitation, so you can apply for your visa. Your country coordinator will help you with the visa application procedure.

What is “CAMPUS15 – Youth Goes for Peace”?
“CAMPUS15 – Youth Goes for Peace” is a registered non-profit organization that is politically and denominationally independent. Its members are all volunteers. CAMPUS15 enables young people who come from areas of (former) conflict to meet and spend time together in a supportive environment. Young people of different nationalities, ethnic backgrounds or creeds are given the opportunity to interact in a positive way, together with Germans and other young Central Europeans.

In 2009 CAMPUS15 has been awarded with the European Ciciv-Prize of the European Parliament. CAMPUS15 has been bringing young Europeans together since 1998. So far, we have organised eight Summer Camps in Germany and five Reunion Camps in former Yugoslavia.

Our activities are usually supported by YOUTH IN ACTION, a programme of the European Union, and the by the Youth Welfare Office of North Rhine-Westphalia.

Applicants should note that this Summer Camp may be followed up by a Reunion Camp in one of the Western Balkan countries in the summer of 2011, as has been our practice since 2001.

"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.
