Every year, we invite 100 PhD-candidates to Bergen to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing the world. Shaped by some of Bergen's best research groups, we addresses key global challenges through high quality disciplinary, interdisciplinary and problem oriented research-based PhD courses.

Health, poverty, migration, resource management and culture are some recurring themes of the expertise involved in the summer research school.
