Time and Place: 27-28 June, Aarhus, Denmark
Contact person: Hanna Vikström, hanna.1.vikstrom@ltu.se
THE CALL IS CLOSED
Motivation
This year’s summer school will focus on how young scholars can not only survive but also thrive in academia. We will focus on developing tools to get the skills for a happy and successful career in but also outside of academia.
The Tensions of Europe network has established itself as an important forum and meeting point for historians of technology in Europe. In addition, the physical meetings, summer schools, and virtual conferences have been essential in facilitating international cooperation between early career scholars from different countries who are building their professional identity and academic networks.
The two-day Summer School for Early Career scholars will take place before the Tensions of Europe conference. The aim is to connect doctoral students and post-doctoral scholars to network, and to complement the main conference with content that is relevant for scholars in the early phase of their career.
To help us to organise the summer school, we ask you to indicate your interest in participation in the summer school by sending an e-mail to hanna.1.vikstrom@ltu.se Please include: 1-2 sentences about what kind of workshop/lecture would help you the most.

We will ask all participants to submit an application at a later date.
The final application should include:
- short abstract (300 words) describing your research interests
- short bio (50-100 words)
