The Summer School consists of an introductory session, two major sessions (lectures / exercises / discussions in class), field work / excursions to selected coastal sites and a final session with case studies/ lessons learned.
The participants will also have the opportunity to discuss/present case studies from their own country with the aim of identifying, together with the lecturers and the other attendees, the most appropriate solutions in group discussions.
For each of the main topics, leading scientists/practitioners, including lecturers from DAAD-EXCEED partner universities, have been invited to provide lectures and exercises. A brief summary of each lecture/exercise, expected learning outcomes and a list of supporting course material (lecture notes, related publications) will be sent to all participants before the seminar.
The attendees are advanced Master students and PhD-students, as well as young engineers, biologists, oceanographers, managers and geologists. Priority has been given to those attendees with experience in coastal ecosystems, who are interested in acquiring knowledge and competence in natural and hybrid solutions for coastal protection by combining coastal ecosystems with traditional engineering solutions. Each applicant was asked to submit his or her own case study as an integral part of their application.
The number of participants is limited to 35. Candidates from DAAD-EXCEED partner universities in Latin America have been given first priority. There are full scholarships for participants from developing countries.

For each of the main topics, leading scientists/practitioners, including lecturers from DAAD-EXCEED partner universities,
will be invited to provide lectures and exercises
Coastlines around the world are suffering significant damage from increasing population density, increasing urban development and infrastructure for diverse sectors and on-going ecosystem degradation. Engineers are increasingly called upon to provide structures to provide protection against wave attack, coastal flood and erosion.
Generally these have been designed as hard structures with little or no consideration....
A brief summary of each lecture/exercise, expected learning outcomes and a list of supporting course material
(lecture notes, related publications) will be sent to all participants before the seminar
