ICOS Summer/Winter School January 2027, application is now open

The ICOS Summer School on greenhouse gases gathers MSc students, PhD candidates, postdoctoral researchers and staff from research stations to learn about the carbon cycle and climate change relevant to ICOS. The typical Summer School programme includes lectures on measurement techniques and practical work on data management and modelling.

The most recent 8th ICOS Summer School took place in May 2025 in Hyytiälä, Finland. 

The next ICOS Summer School is currently planned to take place at 18-28 January 2027, so will actually be an ICOS Winter School, the 2nd winter edition after the one in 2021. We will have place for about 35 students from master students to post-docs, also including technicians and scientists already working in ICOS. Candidates from ICOS member countries or candidate countries are preferred, but we always reserve some places for other students. 

Almost all costs will be covered by the supporting projects NUBICOS, ICOS Carbon Portal and Helsinki University. We might have to impose a nominal contribution per student in the order of € 100, depending on the amount of sponsors we may collect. Travel to/from Helsinki you will have to organize yourself and will be at your own (institute's) expense. To get an idea of the program and the organisation you can look at the 2025 Summer School program below.

Application for the 9th ICOS Winter School January 2027 is now open! 

Through this application form  you can register. 

Submission deadline is 31 July 2026. 

You will hear about the selection around mid September 2026.
