Report on the 2024 Summer College for PhD Students and Early Career Researchers

Last week, we delivered the 2024 Summer College for PhD Students and Early Career Researchers held in partnership and at the GSSI – Gran Sasso Science Institute, L’Aquila, Italy. This year’s themes were Migration, Well-Being and Spatial Inclusion.

The College was a great success with a good mix of intense academic interventions, student presentations, professional development sessions, networking, social events, a fieldtrip to Lecce nei Marsi and a walking tour in L’Aquila and all this in glorious sunshine.

Photos of the College can be found on our Facebook page.

We like to thank the GSSI for hosting us and Alessandra Faggian and colleagues for the excellent partnership work.

Thank you also to our plenary speakers Özge Öner and Vicente Royuela, Annekatrin Niebuhr, Kiel University, Germany, Antonella Ferrara, Paolo Veneri, Maria Giovanna Brandano and Daniela Carl.

Last but not least, many thanks to our wonderful participants for their engagement and contributions, making this College so enjoyable. We hope to see you again in the future and wish you all the best for your projects: Micaela Arcaio, Luca Buzzanca, Cynthia Córdova Orellana, Christian Hoefnagel, Nur Kardelen, Annalisa Spalazzi, Junbo Wu, Andrea Nasuto, Dávid Sümeghy, FATMA GÜL ERYILDIZ ŞENVARDAR, Marianne L., Leah Aaron, Martin Kolafa, Ji Shi, Fath E-Mubeen, Johanna Trager, Roza Sarakatsanou, Martin Hulényi, Charlotte Doggett, Adrian-Daniel Muntean, Elena Heller, and Sheenagh McShane.
