Students formulate and investigate a scientific question within a field-based research project. They collect, analyze, and interpret relevant data using appropriate scientific methods. Students communicate their findings in both an oral presentation and a written scientific report, demonstrating their ability to plan, conduct, and critically reflect on an independent research process.

This summer school highlights how an integrated approach that considers the ecological, evolutionary, and social dimensions of freshwater (blue) and terrestrial (green) ecosystems benefits the maintenance and restoration of biodiversity. It is aimed primarily for PhD students to bring themselves up to date with the latest research and to reflect on their own work with an interdisciplinary lens.
