11th International NCCR Climate Summer School
"The Water Cycle in a Changing Climate: Observations, Scenarios, Impacts"

9 – 14 September 2012, Centro Stefano Franscini, Monte Verità, Ticino,
Switzerland

The NCCR Climate, Switzerland's Centre of Excellence in Climate and
Climate Impact Research, invites young scientists to join leading
climate researchers in a scenic southern Swiss Alpine setting for
keynote lectures, workshops and poster sessions on the occasion of the
11th NCCR Climate Summer School 2012.

Scope
The 11th International NCCR Climate Summer School is focusing on the
theme "the water cycle in a changing climate". This theme has been
chosen due to its paramount importance in terms of both scientific
challenges and pressing societal concerns. The specific topics to be
addressed include:

Observed variations of the water cycle
Physical processes governing the hydrological response to climate change
Scenarios of the water cycle in a changing climate
Anticipated impacts
The Summer School invites young researchers from all fields of climate
research. The courses cover a broad spectrum of climate and climate
impact research issues and foster cross-disciplinary links. Each topic
includes keynote plenary lectures and workshops with in-depth
discussion in smaller groups. All Summer School participants are
expected to present a poster of their research and there will be ample
opportunity for discussion.

The summer school is open to young researchers (PhD students and
Post-Docs) worldwide. Participation is highly competitive and will be
limited to a maximum of 70. The registration fee (1400 CHF) includes
full board accommodation, excursion and teaching material. A small
number of grants will be available for students from developing
countries.

Deadline for applications: 20 December 2011
Successful applicants will be notified in February 2012.
