UK Energy Research Centre 2010 Summer School call for nominations the deadline for nominations is 17:00 London time on Wednesday 7th April 2010 The UK Energy Research Centre (UKERC) is holding its sixth annual Energy Summer School from 20-25 June 2010 at the University of Warwick in the English Midlands. There will be 100 places available for UK and international students. The School has been specifically designed to give first and second year PhD students an understanding of energy systems as a whole and of pathways to low-carbon and resilient energy systems. We welcome applications from those engaged in energy-related research including technical, physical, social, economic, environmental and business aspects of energy and energy systems. We would like to invite you to nominate students to attend. There is no charge for registered research students to attend the School; UKERC will provide accommodation and all meals and materials for activities. The School is conducted in English, and as it is highly interactive a good standard of comprehension and spoken English is essential. 詳見http://www.rcuk.cn/rcuk/fore/s_project_cnt_en.php?pro_id=45 |
