The CBSS Summer University invites 20 advanced master as well as doctoral students from political science, environmental studies, law, international relations, administration science, but also from other disciplines with a more practical link to Baltic Sea cooperation, e.g. economics, communication, to its first summer university in Sweden.
The course not only introduces the basics of governance and administration in the Baltic Sea Region by drawing on different disciplines, but also offers insight into the practice of cooperation. Students preparing for a future as professionals of Baltic Sea cooperation or pursuing academic research on topics related to the region are invited to the CBSS Summer University to discuss issues of high relevance and to make valuable personal contacts. The learning outcomes thus include competence building as well as networking and intercultural experience with a view to making one’s own contribution to societal, environmental and economic partnerships in the region.
