Ala Archa Range.
There is a limited number of about a dozen training positions which will
be offered to candidates from the following Central Asian countries:
Afghanistan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan and
Uzbekistan. During the selection process, priority will be given to
candidates involved in established mass balance programmes.

This summer school is carried out within the framework of the project
