This year’s theme, “Biodiversity and society: transforming science and policy,” will bring together PhD students, early-career researchers, and professionals interested in exploring how science can better support societal responses to the biodiversity crisis. Organised within the network of Alternet and supported in cooperation with Biodiversa+, the Summer School offers a unique opportunity for intensive exchange, creative solutions, and transdisciplinary learning around the environmental challenges we face today.
Participants will spend ten inspiring days in Peyresq, a beautiful village in the Alpes de Haute-Provence (France), an exceptional setting that fosters open discussions, long-term collaboration, and new ideas among researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds.
If you know PhD students, early-career researchers, or colleagues who might benefit from this experience, please feel free to share this opportunity within your networks.
