The LERU Doctoral Summer School is an annual event organized by different LERU members.
High interest for PhD Students: in the last 3 Calls (2014-2016), up to 84 UB PhD students have applied to be selected in a process that, in principle, allows 2 PhD candidates/LERU member to be accepted.
From 2010 until 2016, 17 UB PhD Students have been selected by the LERU and the host University to attend the Doctoral Summer School.
