Call for participation: 23rd International Swiss Climate Summer School 2025 «Sustainable Pathways to Net Zero»

The network of leading Swiss institutions in climate research and education invites early stage scientists to join high-profile climate researchers in Southern Switzerland for keynote lectures, workshops, poster sessions, and personal interactions on the occasion of the on the occasion of the 23rd Swiss Climate Summer School 2025. Application period is from 1 November 2024 to 14 February 2025. Successful applicants will be notified in March 2025.

Summer School 2025

The 23rd Swiss Climate Summer School focuses on the theme «Sustainable pathways to net zero». Pathways to decarbonisation have trade-offs with energy security, land use, food production, biodiversity, and need to consider equity and social acceptance. The main questions to be addressed during the summer school 2025 are:

  • What are the status and key drivers of climate change and biodiversity loss?
  • What are sustainable pathways to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions on a global and domestic level in different political contexts?
  • What strategies and solutions exist for climate mitigation, energy transition and biodiversity conservation globally and in different countries?
  • What is the role of science in socio-political transformation processes?

This summer school addresses early stage researchers from climate and earth system sciences to biodiversity, energy, social, political, and economic sciences. The one-week summer school is organised akin to a conference and is structured around keynote lectures by internationally renowned experts with ample time for discussions, poster sessions, workshops, and concluding fireside chats that involve lecturers and participants. All summer school participants are expected to present a poster of their research to discuss their own research.

The summer school is organised back-to-back with the Energy Summer School «Navigating the Energy Transition in an Insecure World» by the Energy Science Center of ETH Zürich from 31 August – 5 September 2025 to allow interested early stage researchers to attend both schools and expand their knowledge on different aspects on the path towards a net zero society.
