CLUVEX VIRTUAL EXCHANGE WEEK (1 ECTS)

Climate University for Virtual Exchanges (CLUVEX) is an international multidisciplinary online course. CLUVEX introduces and discusses the latest scientific knowledge on climate change from multidisciplinary perspectives: natural sciences, social sciences and the arts.

The virtual exchange (VE) is a great opportunity to experiment interacting in an international environment – especially if you have considered applying for a traditional student exchange. Participating in the VE Week does not require an advanced knowledge base in natural sciences. More important is to be interested in climate change-related issues and workshopping in an international team. The VE Week is open to students of all fields coming from Europe and Neighbourhood East countries.

During the virtual exchange, you will work in small international groups of like-minded students (up to 10 students + 1 moderator). A central part of the virtual exchange is a Climate Horizon exercise, framed by interdisciplinary and intercultural discussions on climate change. You will work online on the exercise individually and in your groups. CLUVEX welcomes students from learning institutions in the Europe and Neighbourhood East countries.
