University of Helsinki
The University of Helsinki is a member of the League of European Research Universities (LERU), an association of 23 leading research-intensive universities that share the values of high-quality teaching within an environment of internationally competitive research. Each year, LERU organizes a Doctoral Summer School on a specific topic. All member universities of LERU are invited to send one doctoral candidate to participate in the meeting.
The 10th LERU Doctoral Summer School will be held at the University of Edinburgh from 15 until 19 July 2019.
The theme of the 2019 LERU Doctoral Summer School is “Building Research Capacity and a Collaborative Global Community”.
The focus will be on international collaboration, giving participants the dual benefits of an enhanced understanding of the nature and importance of collaboration, whilst simultaneously creating a multi-disciplinary, global network for their future careers.
Doctoral candidates from all disciplines are encouraged to apply. Candidates should be in an advanced stage of the doctoral studies and research and be highly motivated to work intensively on this project in an international and interdisciplinary team.
The participation fee (including accommodation) and travel expenses (Economy) of the selected participants from the University of Helsinki are covered by the Doctoral Schools.

”The best parts of the Summer School were the multidisciplinary team work and the opportunity to learn from the other participants. The Summer School offered great experience and skills on leadership, facilitation, project work, and science communication. The Summer School teachers and hosts were absolutely devoted to their subject, and the course was so intense that much was left to re-live and reflect for the weeks that followed. I met fantastic people and grew my network with a bunch of new, wonderful colleagues from different fields and cultures all over the world.”
