The Executive Committee calls for offers to organise and host the next Summer School (2024). The EASP Summer Schools are the cornerstone of EASP’s dedication towards junior scholars and mark for many of us the beginning of a long-standing relationship with the association. We are particularly interested in offers from countries (and parts of Europe more generally) that have not hosted an EASP Summer School and that can provide an invigorating environment for junior scholars.

The Summer School typically last 10-14 days, and consists of a set of parallel workshops (3-5) co-facilitated by external and/or internal teaching staff. The topics of the workshops, as well as the teaching staff involved should be diverse, both in terms of topics and staff, and reflect the breadth of the association. The Summer Schools are popular, attracting between 30-60 students, yet the scope of participants depends on the number of workshops and the local possibilities. Affordable housing should be available. Access to buildings for people with disabilities should be possible. The Summer School is typically held sometime between late June and mid August. EASP will financially support the organisation of the Summer School and participants will also contribute to the costs. Participants in the Summer Schools must be EASP members. However, in a reciprocity agreement, our sister associations SASP and SPSP traditionally receive some seats for their students, contributing to the international flair of the event.

Please feel free to reach out to the Meetings Officer, Claudia Manzi (claudia.manzi@unicatt.it), if you are interested. Note that applications must come from EASP members. 

Deadline: Please send your application detailing the administrative, technical, and financial feasibility of your offer in line with the requirements outlined above, including information about the facilities, to our Executive Officer Wendy Rulkens (office@easp.eu) as soon as possible but in any case by September 29, 2023.
