The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) in collaboration with Conservati=
on International, the University of Vermont and Earth Economics, is announc=
ing the 2014 edition of the International Spring University on Ecosystem Se=
rvices Modeling.

The International Spring University on Ecosystem Services (ES) Modeling is =
the second edition of an annual 2-week intensive course that aims to build =
a new generation of actors, in research, policy and management, who can pro=
fitably use ecosystem services models to address and solve sustainability p=
roblems. In its very successful first edition, launched in the Spring of 20=
13, a large number of applications were received, from professionals in the=
 field, academics and governmental actors.

The course follows a problem-based paradigm, in which advanced Ecosystem Se=
rvices modeling techniques are learned from both theoretical discussion and=
 practice using case studies proposed by the attendees themselves.

During two weeks of intensive instruction, participants learn how to effect=
ively model ES problems of different                         scope and scal=
e using a high-level modeling language that supports the integration of dif=
ferent modeling paradigms. ES and IT experts from around the world will hel=
p the participants to independently create, run and analyze Ecosystem Servi=
ces models and scenarios.

We aim for the school to become a primary source of hands-on instruction on=
 Ecosystem Services assessment. We are opening applications for 25 particip=
ants. Scholarships will be available to cover travel and tuition for up to =
5 participants.


Date: 31st March - 11th April 2014
Venue: Bilbao (Spain) =

Registration open until the 13th of December 2013.
