Admission

The course is meant for early stage Ph.D. students that work on a glaciology-related climate project. Some places are available for junior scientists. The course can accomodate 36 students. Prior detailed knowledge/background in glaciology is not a prerequisite but preference will be given to students with stronger math/numerical background.

Costs

The registration fee (2025) is €900. This covers lodging, full board, excursion and course material. Travel to and from Karthaus is not covered. The International Glaciological Society offers three fellowships to cover the registration for students that qualify but have difficulties to pay the fee (this requires a justification, and preference will be given to students outside of high income economies).

Procedure

Applications for the 2025 course are not accepted anymore.

Additional information

Students should be aware that any additional costs incurred due to for example, travel restrictions, quarantine requirements or last minute cancellations of the course, will not be covered by the Karthaus course. We advise students to check with their home institutions how such costs may be covered.
