BSRS 2020: Actionable knowledge to meet global challenges
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, BSRS 2020 was organised as a virtual research school.
Main content
How can your research contribute to solving global challenges? How do you design, conduct and communicate research to stimulate social change? And how do you create actionable knowledge?
The annual Bergen Summer Research School (BSRS) is an interdisciplinary venue for PhD candidates who want to explore some of the greatest challenges of our time. Next summer we will look at the interfaces between science, society and global challenges.
Bergen, Norway, from 8-18 June, 2020
Six parallel courses will explore key global challenges, including climate governance, sustainable cities, sustainable oceans, media & democracy, food systems, and migrant health.
Together with cross-cutting keynotes and social events, the courses will help 100 PhD candidates to develop skills to create actionable knowledge.
Scientific Director for BSRS 2020 is Professor Håvard Haarstad, Centre for Climate and Energy Transformation (CET), Department of Geography.
Our courses:
Cities in climate and energy transformations
Sustainable development of life below water
