The University of Graz is hosting the 2023 EAERE Summer School which will address the topic of Transnational and Cascading Climate Risks and Adaptation and take place from July 2nd to July 8th, 2023 in Castle Seggau, close to Graz, Styria, Austria.
They provide a limited number of scholarships for travel and accommodation.
Objectives
The impacts of climate change materialize at the local level, yet physical connections e.g. via water sheds or international trade or migration trigger the transmission of climate change impacts across borders. Due to the high complexity of global supply chains, these transnational climate risks affect not only climate-sensitive sectors such as agriculture but also industrial and service sectors that are usually not at the center of climate change impact assessments. The IPCC and several national and international agencies have therefore identified transnational climate risks to be potentially very damaging, particularly for highly trade-exposed countries. However, the economic literature on this issue is still emerging. The summer school, therefore, reviews different economic modeling approaches capable of assessing transnational and cascading climate risks. Lectures will cover different approaches to assess economic impacts and adaptation in various impact fields, such as flooding, heat, drought, and migration, etc. Additional topics are the modeling of response strategies, including international adaptation finance. Students will deepen their knowledge of their own core methodological experience, get a better understanding of complementary methods, and gain insights into novel modeling tools from related fields such as political science.
The Summer School is targeted to doctoral and post-doctoral students. Admission is conditional on the presentation by each student of his/her doctoral work; therefore applicants normally need to be advanced in their PhD to have produced at least one substantive chapter, but are not requested to have completely finished their thesis.
EAERE membership is not required for applications, but it is encouraged. EAERE Membership is required for accepted applicants: participation is restricted to 2023 EAERE members.
In order to apply please fill in the application form.
Mandatory documents to upload are:
- motivation letter; *
- curriculum vitae; *
- letter(s) of reference from your supervisor(s); *
- the first draft of the paper you would like to present – no length constraint. Full papers or extended abstracts are accepted; however, priority will be given to full papers. *
* Please note that mandatory documents are to be sent as a single .pdf file to: eaere-summer-school@uni-graz.at.
The deadline for applications is March 31st, 2023.

The School Organisers provide a limited number of scholarships for the coverage of the travel costs for participation in the School. Please indicate in the application form if you would like to apply for a scholarship and provide a short justification for your request. Only few scholarships are available. We would like to support those who do not receive sufficient financial support from their home institution in order to afford to participate in the Summer School provided they will be accepted. It is therefore of utmost importance to explain in your motivation letter for a scholarship your financial constraints. Given limited funds, we might have to prioritize and therefore may have to ask you for further details. All information will be treated strictly confidential.
