International Summer School
International Summer School
Since 2011 the ARL Headquarters has cooperated with rotating partners from various European countries to organise an annual International Summer School. This gives up to 12 PhD students the opportunity to spend several days working intensively on a specific topic with experienced researchers. International knowledge exchanges and networks in the spatial sciences are thus strengthened and young researchers are promoted. The results speak for themselves: the summer schools have led to a number of high-quality English-language publications.
The Summer School in 2024 (in cooperation with the University of Vienna) will take place from 26th to 28th September 2024 in Vienna and will focus on the topic "Spatial Transformation from a Planning Perspective". Further information will be published here.
