In July and August, five talented students from different parts of the world will visit the University of Copenhagen research station in Qeqertarsuaq, in central West Greenland. <\/p>\n
This is according to a press release from the Danish Ministry of Science’s Agency for International Education. <\/p>\n
The students, from India, Pakistan, Canada, Cameroon and Nigeria respectively were awarded grants to study climate change, as part of the international climate conference held in Copenhagen last December. <\/p>\n
They will spend two weeks in Greenland during July and August, to see the effects of climate change with their own eyes.<\/p>\n
The students will be given guided tours in the impressive arctic nature, and will be hosted by the research station in Qeqertarsuaq which is part of the University of Copenhagen. <\/p>\n
Here, they will study arctic flora, fauna and ecosystems. <\/p>\n
The students will have a video camera with them to capture their experiences, and the result can be seen at my.studyindenmark.dk, along with the student\u2019s blogs. <\/p>\n
The grants given to the students are funds raised as a result of a political decision not to give gifts and other conference materials to delegates at the climate conference. <\/p>\n
The approximately DKK 4 million was saved will finance the trip for the five students, as well as the university costs for a total of eleven overseas students studying climate. <\/p>\n
