Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) Summer School 2021 is calling for applications. Students at ACU member universities are invited to join the Summer School on August 2-13 for a two-week virtual event exploring the theme ‘Urban disasters: Vulnerability and resilience in a pandemic’.

The ACU Summer School is a transformative opportunity that connects students across the Commonwealth. Participants can expect:

  • Talks by leading international speakers;
  • Engaging and challenging group project work;
  • Networking opportunities;
  • Intercultural sessions;
  • Skills development;
  • The chance to learn about the history and culture of Mumbai.

The Summer School programme has been developed by senior specialists from the School of Disaster Studies at Tata Institute of Social Sciences. It’s a small and friendly event which is capped at 50 participants. Participants who do not have access to Wi-Fi will be able to apply for a grant to fund data costs needed for them to participate. The event is free, but the 50 participants will be selected as part of a competitive selection process.
