Fifteenth session of the Summer University: enjoy an interesting academic programme and spend two weeks in the heart of Europe!
Dear colleagues,
The call for applications for the 15th Summer University in Prague “Conflicts, polarization, and international institutions: the world between the old and new order” has started. Summer University is hosted by Charles University from 1st September to 13th September 2024.
The key objective of the Summer University is to understand the reasons for the emergence of conflicts in the contemporary world with examples of contemporary types of conflicts in the world (the Post-Soviet space, the Balkans, the Middle East). Related to this is an understanding of the reasons for social and political polarisation – both in European society and in the United States. Populism is partly behind the polarisation itself – it is therefore necessary to understand its origins and patterns.
This summer university provides opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and serves as a platform for scholars to demonstrate their expertise, and fostering connections among individuals who share similar interests both within the university and, notably, internationally.
Schedule
Each day of the academic programme will be composed of an introductory lecture to a topic and a workshop. During workshops, students will be asked to discuss particular problems in groups as “case studies”. At the end of each day, the topic will be summed up in a plenary discussion.
Students can also look forward to a number of free time and teambuilding activities (Guided Tour of less known Prague, Walk through the Prague Castle district and more).
Details
The programme is eligible for 5 or 10 European Credit Transfer and Accumulation System (ECTS) credits. The price of 1.697 EUR includes tuition, accommodation, boarding, and free time activities.
