NEW: COURSE 1: Teaching sustainability – Using simulation to reach the SDGs in regional transformation / Online

This February: Learn how to use simulation techniques to reach the Sustainable Development Goals!

February 27-28 and April 08 – Online

The World’s Future Online is a social simulation in which participants get immersed in mock negotiation and decision-making to influence the well-being of three countries. It serves as an example of what is needed to solve problems facing the world as a whole. The emphasis of any social simulation is a “serious goal”, be it message transmission, competence training, strategy development or capacity building.

Also known as a multiplayer serious game, it combines the benefits of systems analysis and simulation techniques with the dynamics of creative group scenario building via role-playing and realistic situations that demand communication and cooperation. The World’s Future Online is based on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the gameplay set in the context of global climate change. Players become leaders of three economically diversified regions that follow carbon-intensive development policies and must undertake decarbonization efforts.

Take part in Climate-KIC’s online Spotlight course „Teaching sustainability – Using simulation to reach the SDGs in regional transformation“ and learn how to lead your region to decarbonization. Interested? Please register here.

NEW: COURSE 2: Earth Observation – Big Data for climate change / Warsaw

Join our 5-day course in Warsaw to learn how to apply earth observation in your work!

New Date: May 27 – 31 in Warsaw, Poland

Earth Observation data is readily available and growing more sophisticated by the day. Finding ways to leverage this data is a major key in optimizing the ways we fight climate change. As developers all over the world try their hand at developing applications to better understand and tackle climate change, Climate KIC understands the role that this data can have in the development and utilization of such applications.

EO ClimLab employs leaders in the field of Earth Observation data as well as software development to ensure the developers of these applications have the tools necessary to stay on the cutting edge of climate change prevention. The program will educate those interested in climate change on how to obtain, process, and use Earth Observation data when writing and developing their own applications. This will enable those taking a practical approach to fighting climate change the tools necessary to employ all available information in their solutions.

The course will take a close look at space data, meteorological data, and how the WeatherBox platform can unlock the full potential of this powerful big data. Additionally, participants will be given hands on coaching on how to build programs from the ground up using these data sets.

This practical approach to tackling the threat of climate change aims to enable the next generation of developers and practitioners to develop real solutions to build towards a more sustainable future.
