RESEARCH CONFERENCES
ESF-FMSH Entre-Sciences Conference on Interdisciplinary Environmental Sciences
New Methodologies and Interdisciplinary Approaches in Global Change Research
IGeSA, Porquerolles France
05-10 November 2008
With support from
This interdisciplinary
conference will present the new advances in the modelling of the Global Change that combines Geosciences and Economics, with a perspective view from history - given the novelty of their interrelations – and from political science – given the impact of the model outputs in the public sphere.
The conference will gather together speakers and attendees from Europe and North America in Porquerolles, one of the most beautiful islands of the French Riviera.
About 150 participants are expected to attend. Its
originality and attractiveness will lie in the mixing of
scientists concerned with the same topics but coming from disciplines far apart (from Physical and Natural Sciences to Social and Human
Sciences). Speakers will use clear and understandable language while maintaining a high scientific level. This conference, lasting 5-days will facilitate contacts and
stimulate intellectual
exchanges, especially among the young researchers, and future collaborations.
