Announcement: Call for Applications 2009/2010 - PhD Programme in Science and Management of Climate Change
Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, in collaboration with the Euro-Mediterranean
Centre for Climate Change (CMCC), launched a 3-year PhD Programme in Science and
Management of Climate Change, organised in two Streams: Dynamic Climatology at
CMCC in Bologna; and Climate change impact and management, at the Department of
Economics of the Ca’ Foscari University in Venice.
The PhD Programme in Science and Management of Climate
Change was established in 2007, through an agreement between the Universita'
Foscari in Venice (Unive) and the Euro-Mediterranean Centre for Climate Change
(CMCC), a consortium comprising several Italian public and private Research
institutions.
Objectives of the
PhD
Unive and CMCC joined their efforts to launch a joint PhD
Programme in order to provide the job market with experts with a broad,
in-depth, scientific and socio-economic background, as well as with a sound and
innovative research experience focusing on the dynamics of climate change and
the methodologies and techniques for evaluation and management, in terms of
mitigation and adaptation measures and policies.
Organisation of the PhD Programme
The
Programme is organised in two Streams:
- Dynamic Climatology, at CMCC in Bologna
- Climate change impact and management, at the Department of Economics of the University Ca Foscari in Venice
Twelve 5-credit courses are planned for the first
academic year, in order to provide students with the state of the art of the
scientific findings related to the two disciplinary streams. These also foresee
common activities with the objective of offering tools to build a sound
scientific, managerial and economic base for the general comprehension of the
broader theme of climate change, with the opportunity for in depth studies of
specific issues and for experiencing a multidisciplinary approach.
The
second year is aimed at providing the PhD candidates with an experience of
research in a foreign institution, while the third year is mainly devoted to the
preparation of the thesis.
The PhD admits every year up to twelve students,
from Italy
and elsewhere.
