| Description |
The Summer School Sustainability in the MIddLe East (SMILE) aims at offering a unique platform for advanced bachelor and master students to delve into pressing issues surrounding sustainability in the region, gaining a comprehensive and nuanced perspective from professionals and scholars from different fields.

Moreover, the interdisciplinary nature of SMILE will allow each student to contribute with the specific expertise of their own discipline to their peers, creating a cooperative learning community, increasing their self-confidence as experts of one specific field, and showing them the necessity to work in an inter- and transdisciplinary way to address global challenges.
