The Ice2Ice PhD bootcamp 2018 is held in Rosendal, Norway, at the Folgefonn Centre from Monday January 22nd to Friday February 26th. We will stay at the Rosendal Tourist Hotel which is very close by to the centre. We defined four groups who will visit different target audiences on day one like school kids of different age (group 1 and 2), tour companies (group 3) and the local media (group 4). The bootcamp week gives each of the four groups the opportunity to find out what the different audiences would like to know about climate science and then test if we are able to communicate the outcome to the audiences. This test will take place at the Folgefonn Centre. Each audience and locals will be invited to listen to our talks and evaluate our communication skills we hopefully improved during the week with the help of Mathew Reeve and Ellen Viste who will be our mentors.

The group structure is as follows:

Group 1:
Sunniva and Karita

Group 2:
Ida, Anais and Eva

Group 3:
Silje and Jonathan

Group 4:
Lisa and Andreas

The program for the week can be found here (pdf). The program includes a tour through the Folgefonn Centre, the visit of the audiences, presentations by the mentors, group work, evening talks and discussions and a social activity on the Wednesday.

We will get to Rosendal on the Monday by ferry that departures from Bergen Torget at central station 08.50am. The boat ride takes approximately 1.5 hours. The trip back to Bergen on the Friday is also by boat and leaves Rosendal at 06.50am. Ferry tickets for the bootcamp participants have been bought by the organisers and will be handed out upon departure. Please show up at the ferry terminal in time as the next ferry to Rosendal leaves in the late afternoon. As the ferry leaves early Monday morning we ask the Copenhagen-based participants to arrive no later than the day before..

The hostel provides bed linen and towels, but please remember to bring warm clothes and hiking boots as the social activity is taking place outdoors.

We look forward to a productive bootcamp 2018!

Best wishes,
Silje, Ida and Lisa
