Dear VDP members,
Unfortunately, we did not receive any proposals for our 2026 summer
school this year. As the VDP Summer School is a key event in the
internationalisation of our Doctoral School, we would like to encourage
any potential teams who missed the initial and second deadlines to
submit proposals. We will thus extend the deadline again until 4
December (noon). Please see the call for proposals below.
If you have a draft proposal ready and an established team willing to
take on this commitment, please apply by then.
Best regards,
Raphael
