SENSE will organise two International Summer Schools in 2007. One before and one after The Amsterdam Conference 2007.
Only a selection of PhD students will be able to enroll in these Summer Courses, based on their motivation and CV.

The Amsterdam Conference 2007 is an international conference on "Earth System Governance: Theories and Strategies for Sustainability".

Purpose and Goals In autumn 2006, an introductory course on GIS techniques relevant for environmental researchers will be offered to Ph.D. students by the Graduate School of Environmental Stress Studies.
The course will seek to give participants an introduction to the Global Information System and to provide an overview of relevant issues for environmental researchers. In the course we will be using the program package ARC GIS provided by ESRI. Emphasis will be on models used to analyse and/or describe dynamic environments.

Maastricht University, The Netherlands ESST is a one-year International Master Programme taught in collaboration with an Association of 17 European Universities. The ESST programme explores the foundations and impact of science and technology by examining the values, language, history, politics, and economics of modern technological and scientific society. Work in this field prepares students to integrate the scientific and technical disciplines with the humanities and social sciences.
