Framework of the AAP OCEAN Summer school
The Ocean Sciences Institute (OCEAN) is one of the 18 institutes created by Aix-Marseille University, aiming to pursue the structuring of the site in terms of research - training - innovation, in particular by strengthening the links between training and research, interdisciplinarity and internationalization.
To support the above objectives, OCEAN proposes to finance up to 18 000 € for the organization of one or more summer schools in 2022.
- The summer school must at least be accessible to Master's students within the perimeter and be related to OCEAN's objectives and challenges.
- The summer school must take place before the end of July 2022, respect the A*MIDEX funding rules regarding expenses for events (see annex 1) as well as the DEVE-AMU procedures regarding the management of short courses.
