The European Association of Environmental and Resources Economists (EAERE), the 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

 

 

2016 Summer School EAERE-FEEM-VIU

Field Experiments in Environmental and Resource Economics

 

Venice, June 26th- July 2nd, 2016

 

The 2016 Summer School will take place from June 26th to July 2nd at the VIU campus on the Island of San Servolo, in Venice, located just in front of St. Mark's Square. The topic covered by the 2016 Summer School is the Field Experiments in Environmental and Resource Economics.

 

Over the past years field experiments have flourished in environmental and resource economics. The 2016 EAERE Summer School aims at discussing the most relevant research about field experimentation, with direct relevance of environmental economics. Key relevant topics will be explored in depth, including preferences, resources and valuation, cooperation, energy and water conservation, development and growth, as well as climate change. Classes will discuss the latest developments in the literature, and students will have the chance to present their own work in front of the class and the faculty.

 

This School is organised in partnership with the project COBHAM "The role of consumer behaviour and heterogeneity in the integrated assessment of energy and climate policies", a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant funded by the European Union's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013) / ERC grant agreement n° 336155. The objective of COBHAM - hosted by Politecnico di Milano in collaboration with the Euro- Mediterranean Center on Climate Change (CMCC) - is to study behavior and interactions among individuals and their impact on energy efficiency and climate change mitigation.

Programme - 2015

Summer School The Summer School is designed to last for 6 days and consists of about 35 contact hours and further several hours of scheduled reading and consultation time. The content of the School is a mixture of lectures, student presentations, consultation and reading sessions.

The activities open with a Welcome and Introduction session, in which the Summer School topics are introduced. A general open discussion, where all the lecturers are invited to briefly present their topics, can be organised to facilitate the students to become soon more familiar with the lecturers’ topics.

 

Each lecturer is expected to give a 3 hours lecture, split into 2 x 1.5 hour sessions. Each student is also expected to make a presentation of about 40 minutes, which include also the time for questions and discussion. Students' papers must be completed and sent to the Summer School Secretariat by the 1st of June, 2015. In order to get prepared to the School, students will receive in advance all the available teaching material and the papers presented by the other participants.

 

In the reading sessions students can privately take their time to go into what really interest them thoroughly.

 

During consultation sessions students can privately consult with lecturers. It is up to the students to ask directly to a lecturer for a private meeting. Group consultations can be organised too. Private or group meetings during the consultation time can be held inside the classroom, which remains open until the end of the consultation session, or in any other available space of the VIU Campus such as in the cafeteria, in the beautiful garden surrounding the campus or in the campus' common areas. It is up to the students and lecturers to make the consultation as much formal or informal as they prefer. Also working groups can be organised during the consultation time. We strongly encourage all the students to take most advantage of the consultation time from the very beginning of the School.

EAERE-FEEM-VIU European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics
The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change

 

July 6th - 12th 2014 - Venice, Italy

 

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 2014 Summer School will take place from July 6th - 12th, 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 The Economics of Adaptation to Climate Change.

 

There is no doubt that both adaptation and mitigation will be necessary to reduce the impact of anthropogenic global warming on the economy. The objective of the School is to provide tools and methods to understand how economists frame the problem of adaptation to climate change. The lectures will start with an introduction to the theory of adaptation to climate change and will then focus on specific sectors or impacts – tropical cyclones, agriculture, forestry and ecosystems, water. Two final lectures will introduce the use of integrated assessment modeling tools to study optimal adaptation to climate change.

 

The Summer School is aimed at Ph.D. students that are already writing a thesis on the economics of adaptation to climate change and want to engage into a highly interactive exchange with experts in the field. Students will be asked to present an advanced version of their research work and will receive valuable feedback from fellow students and from the School professors. Students will also be assigned a tutor that will provide individual feedback during consultation time.

VIU Summer Institute on Ageing

 

 

What is about 

The VIU Summer Institute on ageing will:

  1.  provide students and trainees with a thorough understanding of the ageing process, offering notions of the medical and epidemiological recent literature to the socio-economic advances in this research area
  2.  enhance the multidisciplinary approach for researchers who work on ageing
  3.  provide “hands on” experience on the micro data-sets
  4.  increase the mobility and the inter-connectivity of PhD students, researchers, teaching staff and policy makers, hence favouring the creation of research networks

 

The 2016 edition has a focus on Asian countries

 

Learning outcomes 

  1.  participants will gain special insight into the recent advances of the ageing process from a theoretical and practical point of view and will be able to perform impact evaluation (e.g. health care costs);
  2.  participants will learn how to use the data in this area of research
  3.  participants will be offered the opportunity to share their ideas in a poster-sessions and during social events
  4.  participants will develop transversal competences based on a multidisciplinary approach. Specific training sessions, such as “revolving conversations”, will take place.
  5.  policy makers and people involved in public policy and public services will be able to learn how to connect issues between the health dimension of ageing and the socio-economic dimension of ageing.

Who can apply 

The Summer Institute is addressed mainly to graduate and PhD students in social sciences (economics, sociology, demography, political science), to MDs particularly geriatrics, students in epidemiology, public health. Moreover, policy makers and high-level officials in public and private institutions will be admitted if their background is adequate

 

Program structure

The Summer Institute will consist of three blocks of activities

1. Morning lectures from leading researchers addressing the most recent advances in the area. Presentations in the fields of biomedicine, geriatrics, genetics, epidemiology, patient care, psychiatry, as well as economics of ageing, pension economics and finance, health economics, public health, demography and sociology.

2 Hands on sessions in the afternoon.

Provide students a thorough presentation of the survey data on ageing available to the scientific community. The 2016 VIU-Summer Institute will focus on datasets such as SHARE, ELSA, TILDA, CHARLS and new data from South East Asia.

3. Poster sessions and revolving conversations

Students are invited to prepare a poster about their ongoing research: a paper they are working on or other preliminary work. Poster sessions will be held every day around lunch time: students will have the opportunity to discuss their own research with the senior scholars.

In dedicated slots participants will be asked to present to a fellow student – sitting opposite to her - a research idea in no more than 10 minutes.

 

 

Tuition fees 

Tuition fees are 1,800 euro including VAT.

The tuition fee covers also accommodation (double rooms) and meals expenditures offered by VIU.

Candidates can request a grant in order to support tuition expenses.

 

The Summer School is co-organized by Venice International University, Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Università Ca' Foscari Venezia, Université de Lausanne, Università degli Studi di Padova.
