Climate change represents one of the most complex challenges of our time, requiring transdisciplinary expertise that blend scientific, social, cultural, ethical, and communicative competences. This Summer School is designed to foster dialogue across disciplines and explore how climate change is addressed in different academic and social contexts.

​

Over four days of insightful lectures and workshops, participants will engage with scholars from fields such as:

• geography

• linguistics

• philosophy

• sociology

• psychology

• communication studies.

 

Activities and discussions will focus on the ways climate change affects health, ecosystems, social inequalities, and public discourse, as well as to the ethical and communicative challenges involved in climate action. Participants will collaborate to develop a climate-related case study, working throughout the program toward a shared outcome for future research perspectives. This structure is intended to encourage exchange across methods and perspectives, and support participants in translating disciplinary knowledge into collaborative research and communication practices.

 

The Summer School will be held in English and will take place in person at the University of Salerno from 16 to 19 June 2026. We welcome PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, early-career scholars, and researchers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds who are interested in interdisciplinary perspectives on climate change.

 

For questions or expressions of interest, please contact one of the convenors:

We warmly invite interested participants to apply and join us for an intensive and collaborative exploration of climate change across disciplines.
