GENERAL INFO:

Each day will start with summaries of the previous days lectures prepared by groups of students. This ensures that the main topics are understood and give the opportunity to pick up on any unanswered questions/topics.

In the first week we will also have time slots for short presentations by each student, where you can show a few slides describing your PhD work or current research topic.

Part of the time during the last two days of the summer school will be used to prepare a written summary/discussion of the main findings/conclusions of the summer school. This will later be submitted to an appropriate journal.

You can find all the daily summaries and the final submitted paper from previous summer schools on this www site.

 

DEPARTURE:

On the evening of Friday 29th of August we will take the boat to Ilulissat.
