The school  will consist of a blend of theoretical and practical sessions focused  on key aspects of adaptation and adaptive governance. Both natural and  social science streams will be explored, with emphasis on multi- and trans-disciplinary perspectives and the demonstration of policy and management  implications. To achieve this, we invited several leading scientists in the field from Europe but also beyond, renowned for their cross-disciplinary research. We will complement this with a selection of  participants from different backgrounds and disciplines with ongoing work on adaptation. The program will provide rich opportunities to connect with local adaptation initiatives, including the recently ended Lake Balaton adaptation project of UNDP-GEF.
