Una Europa Summer Schools

About

Una Europa hosts Summer Schools for doctoral researchers at partner universities, as well as researchers from selected associated partners. The joint intensive courses provide researchers with an interdisciplinary perspective on their research area, help them strengthen their core research skills and build a professional network across Europe.

You will learn more international and interdisciplinary approaches to research and build a network of fellow doctoral researchers and established experts. This is a great opportunity to make new academic experiences, while getting to know a new university, city, and culture.

Format

Our summer schools typically take the form of an blended format, combining a short in-person programme with online components before and after to connect participants and facilitate collaborative working beyond the summer school itself. This flexible, innovative summer school format aims to make the programmes more accessible to doctoral researchers from a wide range of backgrounds, contexts and, disciplines.
