10th International NCCR Climate Summer School
"Climate Change, Extremes and Ecosystem Services"

4 - 9 September 2011, Grindelwald, 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 Swiss Alpine setting for keynote lectures, workshops
and poster sessions on the occasion of the 10th International NCCR Climate
Summer School 2011.

The topics covered at the NCCR Climate Summer School 2011 will include:
* Ecological implications of climate change and weather extremes
* Ecosystem services and climate change: forests, grasslands and croplands
* Food security: coping with climate change in agriculture
* Global land and water use in a changing climate

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 present a poster of their research
and there will be ample opportunity for discussion.

Lecturers for keynotes and workshops (confirmed):
N. Buchmann (ETHZ, CH); H. Bugmann (ETHZ, CH); P. Calanca (ART Zurich, CH);
P. Ciais (LSCE Paris, F); U. Feller (U Bern, CH); R. Finger (ETHZ, CH); J.

Fort Collins, USA), M. Parry (Rothamsted, UK); S. Seneviratne (ETHZ, CH); W.
Tinner (U Bern, CH); M. Wüest (SwissRE, CH)

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 (1200 CHF) includes half board
accommodation, excursion and teaching material.

ThinkSwiss, an initiative promoting exchanges between the U.S. and
