Dear community,

The aim of the Postdam Summer School 2019 is to bring together talented 
early-career scientists and young professionals operating in the private 
sector, governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations from many 
different parts of the world to discuss frontier (research) questions on future 
sustainable development.

The following questions will guide the ten-day programme in the theme of  
"Connecting Science and Society - Communicating Research on Sustainability and 
Global Change":

  *   How can scientists address audiences from other societal areas?
  *   Can all sustainability topics be communicated equally?
  *   Should scientists become advocates rather than taking neutral positions 
only?
  *   How to deal with incomplete or wrongly presented scientific information?
  *   How to reduce complexity, without losing the scientific character?
  *   How to strengthen the credibility of scientific findings?

The summer school will provide its participants with a comprehensive look into 
theories and methods of science communication. They will be engaged in 
discussions and group works and will be provided with tools to develop 
effective communication strategies.

Summer School will take place from August 20th through August 29th, 2019 in 
Potsdam, Germany.

Deadline for applications: April 30th, 2019
