VULCANO SUMMER SCHOOL 2026
SAMPLING TECHNIQUES IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS
Dive into the science of extreme environments: a unique hands-on experience in the heart of the Mediterranean
Who can join:
Bachelor, Master, PhD students, and PostDocs
What you will learn:
Multidisciplinary training with experts in geochemistry, microbiology, volcanology & more
How it works:
No registration fee − travel, accommodation* & meals are charged by students
*A limited number of places in an affiliated facility (25 € per night) will be available upon request, on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Vulcano Summer School on Sampling Techniques in extreme Environments is a unique opportunity to engage in hands-on learning experiences, handling the science of geochemistry of fluids applied in hydrothermal and volcanic systems with experts coming from around the world.
You will get experience in sampling waters and gases, monitoring air quality and hazards, and will enter the hidden world of microbiology characterising extreme environments. You will feel the strength of an active volcano, dive into the warm seawater to look at the bubbles coming from the bottom, and then chill on an authentic black beach after hard work.
The school aims to bring together students and scientists from different backgrounds to develop a holistic and multidisciplinary approach to the (bio)geochemical exploration of volcanic and hydrothermal systems.
Vulcano Summer School 2026 can be your chance to shape, or even switch, your academic and research skills in the investigation of fluids in volcanic and hydrothermal systems!
