Call for applications: DECIPHER Summer School 2025 – Advancing Climate and Environment Decision-Making through Modelling

As the need for efficient and effective climate and energy policies grows, so does the importance of equipping policy-makers with evidence-based quantitative support. Our goal as researchers is to provide robust tools to analyze complex environmental and socioeconomic systems. The DECIPHER Summer School 2025, hosted by the University of Deusto and supported by the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme DECIPHER (Grant Agreement No. 101056898), offers an intensive training opportunity for 25 (15 in-person participants, 10 online) young researchers and professionals, PhD candidates and early-career scientists. Focusing on understanding the implementation of models in decision making and impact assessments, and on developing skills in economic and biophysical modeling, the program will offer a dynamic mix of lectures and practical sessions led by leading institutes in the field. Participants will explore cutting-edge methodologies for climate and energy policy assessment, engage with peers from across Europe and beyond, and apply their learning through hands-on model implementation and analysis.

The project will provide free accommodation for two nights (including breakfast) for 15 selected participants attending on-site in Bilbao. Travel costs are not covered. The two days event includes a coffee break and lunch.

Organizer: Deusto University, as part of the DECIPHER project
