The course kicks off with an intensive five-day Winter School together with students from the seven Arqus universities of Bergen, Granada, Graz, Leipzig, Lyon, Padua, and Vilnius. In the Arqus Winter School, students get an overview of the climate risks facing European cities and how these risks might be governed. The winter school aims to engage students with interdisciplinary research ideas, skills and resources to enable them to develop group research projects on climate risk. It is a challenge-based approach to educating critically engaged European citizens.
