All Things Urban

The BLOXHUB Summer School on Urban Resilience 2020 will bring together on-line researchers, practitioners and policymakers during July 2020. The summer school aims at providing multi-disciplinary knowledge and perspectives on the different global and local challenges for urban resilience in the Global South and North. The training is organized as a series of lectures and work in small groups to respond to a problem-based challenge. The participants will gain necessary competences to develop informed policies, strategies, plans and solutions for urban resilience, at the time of Covid-19. Lectures will be coupled thematically, and each lecture will cover fully or partially issue of pandemics in relation to other issues within the framework of Urban resilience. Participants will be working on problem-based challenge specifically related to pandemics: that may include interaction of pandemic with climate change related hazards, with systemic view (in terms of causes and effects) and multi-level approach within the frame of Urban Resilience. Upon the conclusion of the training the participants will receive Certificate of Participation. We expect from the participants a high level of commitment, due to very interactive mode of the training with intensive discussions, covering approximately 5-6 hours for daily sessions and possible additional time in between planned activities, for discussion and group work. The deadline for the submission of application has been extended until the 20th April. The participation fee is 300 EUR, with possibility for partial or full few waivers for the participants from the Global South.
