Join the Moderators’ Training Program for CLUVEX VIRTUAL EXCHANGE WEEK

The University of Helsinki coordinates the EU ERASMUS+ project Climate University for Virtual Exchange (CLUVEX, 2023–2027) as part of the broader Climate University initiative.

CLUVEX organises an interactive, online Virtual Exchange (VE) Week focused on climate change and sustainability science. The program is designed for students from Western and Eastern European universities, particularly those in Finland, Denmark, Ukraine, and Armenia.

The next CLUVEX VE Week will take place on May 12–16, 2025, with sessions running three hours per day, starting at 2 PM (EET/Helsinki time). Throughout the week, participants will explore the latest scientific insights on climate change from a multidisciplinary perspective, incorporating natural sciences, social sciences, and the arts.

The VE Week sessions, organised via Zoom, will bring together approximately 500 students. Each day will feature a combination of lectures, discussions, and interactive workshops in small groups of around 10 students, led by a designated moderator. Moderators play a key role in facilitating meaningful international and interdisciplinary engagement, guiding discussions, and fostering collaborative learning in an online setting.
