Admission and Application

Application Guidelines

The Summer School is targeted to doctoral and post-doctoral students.
The ideal candidate is a PhD student with no more of than 4 years of research experience (full-time equivalent) since gaining a university diploma giving access to doctoral studies in the country in which the degree/diploma was obtained, excluding in this counting any breaks taken from research career for whatever reason (e.g. working outside research, family reasons, etc.) between the year in which the diploma that gives access to doctoral studies was obtained and the year I started the PhD. However, the selection of the participants does not exclude PhD students with more that 4 years of research experience.

Application is restricted to current EAERE members, both European and non European citizens. Check your EAERE membership status. Information on how to become an EAERE member is available in the EAERE website.

Admission is conditional on the presentation by each student of his/her doctoral work; therefore applicants normally need to be advanced in their PhD to have produced at least one substantive chapter, but not to have completely finished their thesis.

Given the highly interactive activities planned at the Summer School, the number of participants is limited to 20.

Women are encouraged to apply.

There is no participation fee.
