Module 1 \u2013 Sociometabolic Research (SMR) on Islands:<\/strong> This module builds on
sociometabolic data about the island with a focus on reuse and recycling practices. Students
will investigate if the remote and bounded character of islands results in extended lifetimes
of certain materials regarding creative and\/or pragmatic solutions in the construction sector
and\/or appliances and machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Module 2 \u2013 Water stream hydro-morphological and physicochemical parameters analysis:<\/strong>
In the context of this module, participants will have the chance to implement field
measurements that occurred in a stream concerning several hydromorphological and
physicochemical parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Module 3 \u2013 Social Innovation on Islands: <\/strong>This module aims at investigating how islandness is
reflected in the social organisation of the island community in order to overcome socio-
economic or environmental problems. Is islandness a hindering or promoting factor for
driving social innovation and social capital in rural communities?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why should you be part of this summer school?<\/strong>
The aim is to learn and apply social ecology and environmental science approaches in a local
setting while supporting an ongoing research and transition process. The course gives
students the opportunity to engage in a real-life project and utilize their respective scientific
competencies to support the process, cooperate with local \u201ccitizen scientists\u201d in gathering
missing information in fieldwork, and contribute to a local sustainability transformation
process. This will provide you with the experience of a transdisciplinary process, supporting a
search for local solutions, coping with development challenges, and learning to interact with
stakeholders in a culturally challenging environment. The course will conclude with a joint
reflection on the experiences and written student reports on the findings of their specific
research group (module). You will receive a certificate amounting to 6 ECTS to use at your
home university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
20 students can be a part of the summer school, expenses for travelling and
accommodation are supported by Erasmus+.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
