Focused on the frontier lectures, seminars, enterprises visits and study tour within low carbon area, the International Graduate Summer School aims at facilitating academic communication, motivating scientific research and innovation, thus encouraging all the participants to make further achievements in professional sectors.

Highlights
For 2019, by introducing a brand-new module — study tour, the International Graduate Summer School of China-UK Low Carbon College will be divided into four parts. In the frontier lectures, we will concentrate on topics such as carbon accounting, carbon finance, sustainable energy, energy saving and emission reduction, the utilization of carbon resources and so on. During the seminars, students will be encouraged to team up based upon their own interests, have round-table discussions and draw up preliminary research plans. Each team is supposed to make a final report, the committee will make inquiries and comments according to their performances. As for the field trip, students will pay a visit to enterprises and make relevant investigations there. Finally, the participants (especially for the international students) will take a study tour to experience in person the practice of low carbon idea as well as local cultural charm.
On the basis of consolidating strategic partnership with the University of Edinburgh, we have got the ever-increasing applications from our new cooperative counterparts such as University College London, the University of Western Sydney, Monash University, Technological University of Malaysia- UTM, etc.
