The LIPHE4 Summer School is a reference point for young researchers and students who are eager to learn about innovative approaches in the field of Sustainability Studies. The Summer School offers a critical picture, both theoretical and practical, of recently developed analytical approaches towards sustainable development. It shows how to integrate quantitative methodologies that analyze and characterize complex systems and their evolution with qualitative methodologies that help structure the decision process in a social context. With these purposes in mind, both lectures and hands-on case studies form an integral part of the program.

2018 Edition of the LIPHE4 Summer School
The 2018 edition of the LIPHE4 Summer School took place from 2-6 July at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. Under the theme Can Cities Be Sustainable? Novel tools to explore urban metabolism, the course covered: (i) multi-scale integrated analysis of societal and ecosystem metabolism (MuSIASEM): accounting of water, energy, food and waste flows in relation to land uses and human activity; (ii) construction of a multi-level end-use matrix to characterize an urban metabolic pattern; (iii) relational analysis (resource nexus approach) applied to the metabolic pattern of urban systems; (iv) the role of externalization in sustaining the metabolism of urban systems. The summer school was organized by LIPHE4 in collaboration with the ENVIROSPACE Lab of the University of Geneva and the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (ICTA) of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
