24 doctoral and postdoctoral scholars from different countries and academic disciplines will be given the opportunity to present and discuss their current research. Intellectuals, writers and scholars from Egypt will also participate in the discussions and events of the Summer Academy.

The Summer Academy is designed to support scholarly networks and contribute to closer ties among research activities in and outside Europe and the Middle East. It is also meant to foster interdisciplinary research fields that benefit from the sort of intercultural cooperation this forum provides. In order to promote intensive debate and encourage new perspectives, the Summer Academy is structured around four main elements: presentations of individual research projects in small groups, working group sessions for the participants, general lectures, and panel discussions open to a wider public.

 

The application should be submitted in English and should be received by April 15, addressed to eume@trafo-berlin.de
