Steering Committee

The Steering Committee guides the overall direction and strategic planning of the Summer School. It is composed of experienced researchers from leading institutions across Europe. Markus Reichstein from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry brings deep expertise in environmental sciences. Joachim Denzler and Conrad Philipp from Friedrich Schiller University Jena contribute strong backgrounds in machine learning and program coordination. Ioannis Papoutsis from the National Technical University of Athens adds valuable insights, ensuring a collaborative and international perspective.

The first application round was open from February 3 to March 31, 2025. While we had initially considered a second round, we realized after reviewing the outstanding applications by mid-April that demand far exceeded capacity — with more than three times as many applicants as available spots. Due to the high level of interest and the large number of excellent applications received, we have decided not to open an additional application round.
