CISAD's winter schools are theoretical and methodological programmes in the perspective of the issues of complexity theory, which will enable the enrichment of knowledge and skills, crucial for conducting scientific research, which are published internationally.

Winter School I will include five six-hour courses: Introduction to Complexity, Case Study Analysis, States and Markets in the 21st Century: Complexity Approach, Economic Dimensions of Complexity, and Energy Transformation as a Complex Challenge to the Globe. At the same time, Winter School II includes courses such as New Theories of International Relations; Great Power Competition and Transformation of Global Order; Encountering Complexity on Film; Resilience, Governance, and Complex International Relations; and Comparative Perspectives on Development.

The courses are taught by internationally renowned scientists. All participants receive a certificate of attendance that confirms attending the winter school programme. We also offer a scholarship for 54 attendees participating on-site in Krakow.
