EUROSUD students go to Lisbon - 3rd Winter School 2023
This year the EUROSUD Winter School happened in Lisbon from February 27th until March 1st.
EUROSUD is taught over 2 years, starting at the University of Glasgow, where all students can meet and study there for one semester, followed by Athens or Madrid in semester 2. In the final year students can choose among Marseille, Madrid, Athens and Rome.
This is a great opportunity to develop soft skills and learn about different cultures. On the other hand, many say that the biggest challenge for EUROSUD students is being separated from their friends on the journey after Glasgow.
The Winter School is an opportunity for everyone to meet again, catching up about where they are doing their internship or what they are researching for their thesis.

New Course in Athens - Climate Crisis: Policies and Diplomacy in Southeast Europe
The National and Kapodistrian University of Athens is offering a new course taught during the mobility in Greece. The course is titled 'Climate Crisis: Policies and Diplomacy in Southeast Europe.
Offered by Prof. Emmanuella Doussis, UNESCO Chairholder on Climate Diplomacy, this course aims to:
- Explore the climate policies of Southeastern European countries
- Map these courses in the context of the international and European framework
- Highlight the challenges ahead to achieve just transition and climate neutrality by 2050, whilst building societal resilience to address the impacts that cannot be avoided.
The course views climate change not only as an environmental problem which requires technical solutions, but also as a social problem where the solutions expand to include economic, political, cultural and institutional changes. Some of these solutions have the potential for transforming society in ways that address multiple goal challenges, including poverty and inequality, food insecurity, water insecurity, biodiversity loss and health crises.
This course will be offered in the academic year 2023-2024. Interested? Applications to join this EUROSUD cohort are now open - apply here today!
