From 6 to 12 July, the Gotha Research Centre of the University of Erfurt is hosting the ‘Global Solvers Accelerator Co-Lab’ summer school. The one-week seminar aims to bring together future leaders and drive social change at the local and global level. The internationally active Melton Foundation is committed to the goal of global cooperation and promotes the global networking of young people who are committed to social projects. The exchange with the scientists at the Gotha Research Centre also enriches the programme with historical perspectives.
