Swiss Climate Summer School 2026
24th SWISS CLIMATE SUMMER SCHOOL
Climate Variability across Space and Time
30 August – 4 September 2026
Grindelwald, Switzerland
The Swiss Climate Summer School 2026 is organised by the external page Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research (OCCR) focusing on the theme “Climate Variability across Space and Time”, which has a paramount importance in terms of both scientific challenges and pressing societal concerns. Always with a focus on understanding system processes from observational and model perspectives, understanding sources of uncertainty, and implications for predictability and predictions, the specific topics include:
- Climate variability across time from the past to the present
- Climate variability across space from boundary layer processes to planetary scales
- Sources of uncertainty, seasonal to decadal predictability
- Implications for weather and climate predictions
The 24th Swiss Climate Summer School is now open for applications. The summer school addresses early career researchers with a background in climate, engineering, environmental, economic, social and geosciences, among others.
Deadline for applications is 15 January 2026.

About the Swiss Climate Summer School
Since 2002, the external page Swiss climate research community has been committed to fostering the next generation of climate scientists. Through the annual Swiss Climate Summer School (formerly known as “International NCCS Climate School”), young researchers receive advanced training and opportunities for exchange across disciplines and institutions – an important long-term investment in competitive and impactful climate research. The Swiss Climate Summer School is jointly organised by the Center for Climate Systems Modeling C2SM and the external page Oeschger Centre for Climate Change Research OCCR (based at the University of Bern) on an annual basis.
