The IEA Greenhouse Gas Programme (IEA GHG) and Forschungszentrum Jülich are pleased to announce a new international initiative to develop an annual summer school on CCS. The first of these summer schools took place at Kloster Seeon, near Munich, Bavaria, Germany between 19th and 24th August 2007. The meeting was supported by the German Ministry of Economics. Several industry organisations also pledged their support as have the European Commission supported CO2GeoNET project.

It is planned that in future the summer schools will be held annually and will rotate around the world. The next summer school in 2008 is planned to be held in Canada.

Target Group

The target group for the summer school are young scientists, e.g. PhD students and Post Docs with background in engineering, geo-technologies, socio-economics. The goal is to provide students with diverse backgrounds a broad understanding of the issues surrounding CCS and encourage their active participation in this area.

Some 50 students from both developed and developing countries will be invited to attend. It is planned that best student awards will be given which will involve paid attendance at GHGT-9 to be held in Washington D.C in November 2008.
