Autumn Academy - apply now

Contact between the generations has always been a great concern of the Academia Engelberg. This has not changed with the realignment.

With the Autumn Academy, the Academia Engelberg now offers a two-day event within the ENGELBERG DIALOGUES 2018. The aim of the Academy is to provide a platform for graduate students and post docs from all academic fields to present and to discuss papers related to broadly defined costs and/or benefits of intra-European migration and their policy implications.

Interested graduate students and post docs are invited to submit abstracts by no later than 28 February 2018.

The authors of the 20 best papers will then be invited by no later than 30 June 2018 to participate in the Autumn Academy. The three best papers in the view of the Scientific Committee will be awarded cash prizes ranging from 500 to 2000 Swiss francs.

Travel costs, accommodations and meals of the 20 participants will be covered by the Academia Engelberg.

All important information about the Autumn Academy can be found here.
