2008 Summer Institute on “Climate Information for Public Health.”
The Summer Institute will be run by the International Research Institute for Climate and Society (IRI), in partnership with the Center for International Earth Science Information Network (CIESIN) and the Mailman School of Public Health.

This two-week training course offers public health decision-makers and their partners the opportunity to learn practical methods for integrating climate knowledge and information into health decision-making processes through expert lectures, special seminars, focused discussions and practical exercises.

The Summer Institute will be held at the Earth Institute, Columbia University, Lamont Campus located in Palisades, New York, USA between June 02 and June 14. Due to the limited number of participants (12), it is recommended that applications are sent as early as possible.
