Call for participants Summer School ‘Tensions of Europe 2026’ (Dordrecht, 6-7 July 2026) – deadline 15 April 2026
The Tensions of Europe Early Career Scholars Network welcomes applications from both PhDs and Postdocs for the Summer School ‘Tensions of Europe 2026’ on 6-7 July 2026, which is organised in connection to the XII Tensions of Europe Conference ‘The meaning of the past in sustainable futures’, which will be held on the next days (8-10 July 2026) at the Eindhoven University of Technology.
The summer school will take place in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, July 6-7, 2026. It aims at introducing early career scholars to the Tensions of Europe community as well as to facilitate networking between scholars across borders, and support the consolidation and building of new academic skills.
The summer school is organised to a large extent around workshops and group discussions. Participants will be asked to do some preparatory readings (3 to 5 papers), to write a short text on their research which will be circulated before the summer school (300-500 words), and to prepare a very brief presentation on it (2-3 minutes). Additional information and materials will be provided after the notification of acceptance.
Confirmed guests include Professor Ruth Oldenziel (Eindhoven University of Technology), Professor Nina Wormbs (KTH Royal Institute of Technology), Dr Anna Aberg (Chalmers University of Technology), Dr Emily Clark (University of Amsterdam), and Dr Anne Helmond (Utrecht University).
For accepted participants, a participation fee of 50 euros (including welcome dinner, summer school lunches and coffee breaks, and the field trip) applies. Applications should be sent ultimately by 15 April 2026, 23:59 (CET) via the dedicated registration form.
