The 4th SOLAS Summer School was heldfrom 3 to 14 August 2009, once again at the Institut d'Etudes Scientifiques de Cargèse on the West coast of the French island of Corsica. Organised by the SOLAS International Project Office and coordinated by Véronique Garçon, the school welcomed 71 PhD students and early career scientists from 24 countries from a wide range of scientific backgrounds, covering all of the SOLAS topics.
The Summer School offered young researchers the opportunity to expand their knowledge of all aspects of SOLAS science and to create and strenghten future collaborations with SOLAS scientists from around the world.

As in previous SOLAS Summer Schools, poster sessions were held during which the students were judged on both the quality of their poster and their ability to present and discuss their results. The standard was particularly high this year and the choice was difficult, thus the judges decided to award 8 prizes.

* Summer School oral presentations: The students were also asked to give a 4-min presentation about their research. They were given the opportunity to practice their presentations during a workshop and were given feedback by the workshop coordinators, which helped them to improve their presentations, taking into account the advice they had been given. Prizes were awarded to the best presentations, as judged by both fellow students and lectures. In addition, a prize was given to the student who demonstrated the best improvement.
