The European Association of Environmental and Resources Economists (EAERE), the Fondazione ENI Enrico Mattei (FEEM) and the Venice International University (VIU) are pleased to announce their 2001 European Summer School in Resource and Environmental Economics for postgraduate students. Economic Valuation Methods will be the theme of this year. The School will be held from 2nd to 7th July at the VIU campus VIU campus on the Isola di San Servolo, in Venice (just in front of Saint Mark's Square).

The aims of the EAERE-FEEM-VIU Summer school are:

(i) to provide advanced training for European postgraduate students in Environmental and Resource Economics by bringing together postgraduate students with leading researchers to teach the latest developments in their field of specialisation;

(ii) to allow European postgraduate students to meet other postgraduate students working in closely related topics to both learn what research is being undertaken elsewhere that they might not otherwise be aware of, and to share experiences of doing research so that they can learn about different methodological approaches, data bases etc which might be useful in their own research.
