MCW 2025
"This program represented an exceptionally valuable academic and scientific experience, distinguished by its high level of interdisciplinary integration and its strong relevance to contemporary challenges related to climate change and mountain environments. The summer school was amazing, I will never forget it!"
Aïbeck - Kazakh National University (Mountain in a changing world)
"What made this summer school unique was its truly interdisciplinary nature. The talks combined science, engineering, policy, economics, and even psychology. This has inspired me to think more holistically in my future work."
Hui  - National Taïwan University (Mountain in a changing world)
"For me, the summer school is great opportunity not only to gain new theoretical insights but also to meet and connect with international participants and professors, contacts that we can draw upon in the future. Looking back, this experience opened new doors for my potential further academic path."
Laura - Technical University of Graz (Mountain in a changing world)
"During my undergraduate studies, I was first introduced to structural geology, but it did not leave a particularly strong impression on me at the time. […] However, coming this time to the birthplace of this discipline, every outcrop I encountered was truly textbook-grade. It felt as if I were following in the footsteps of geologists from decades ago."
Shih-Chi - National Taiwan University (Mountain in a changing world)
"I particularly appreciated the session on Life Cycle Assessment, which helped me view my own research from a systems-level perspective. Working in a diverse team with students from various backgrounds also challenged me to communicate more clearly and think from a broader context."
Hui - National Taiwan University (CO2 Challenge)
"I gained much from this summer school, not only specialized knowledge but also communication skills and an expanded network in both academia and personal life. This collaborative project allowed us to think globally and work creatively. It was truly a memorable and enriching experience, and I hope we can continue to build connections across different fields and nations, sustaining this amazing project in the future."
