Topics & Courses

Summer School Organization

The summer school is a week in an unconventional university, with classrooms spread throughout an old town in Southern Italy and different levels of parallel lectures targeted for Master's, Ph.D., or post-doctoral students.

The Summer School will begin on the 21st afternoon with a welcome drink and the first keynote speeches. Courses will begin on the morning of the 22nd. There will be a closing dinner on the 27th evening.

Courses:
- Morning classes: from 08:45 to 10:45 am and 11:15 am to 1:15 pm
- Afternoon classes: from 2:15 to 4:15 pm
Keynote lectures from 9:00 to 11:00 pm every evening during the social dinner
Social activities from 4:30 pm to 9:00 pm (individual and group sports, music concerts, guided visits to artistic and archeological sites, bus excursions to agritourism and the sea).
Mentoring sessions, where students can present their research individually to the keynotes or other speakers during the morning and afternoon lecture slots.

Before the beginning of the summer school, each attendant will be asked to indicate his/her preferred courses (from one to three) for each day of the summer school (partial attendance, e.g., at least two days, will be allowed).

For Master students: a 2-day summer school attendance will allow 1 ECTS, a 4-day complete summer school attendance will allow 2 ECTS, and entire summer school + workshop attendance will allow 3 ECTS.

Throughout the four days of the Summer School, each student can move from one parallel session to another, building his/her study plan and preferred interdisciplinary path.

Final Workshops & Parallel Sessions

During the final workshop, summer school participants will showcase their research to colleagues, faculty, and speakers in a supportive atmosphere to get valuable insights and constructive feedback.

Stay Tuned!
