GLOMO Seasonal (summer) school 2

Three Seasonal Schools prepare ESRs for all six career roles. These 5-6 days long Seasonal Schools are co-located at (and co-sponsored by) local graduate schools of the supervisors’ home institutions. All are partially open so that thematic sessions and workshops can be attended by e.g. external graduates, industry and press (sometimes against a modest participation fee). In addition to the two training components of all NWT events (see above), the three GLOMO Seasonal Schools include: • keynote lectures with respect to main research questions and cross-cutting themes, • theme-driven theory sessions including around 4-5 presentations, • training in transferable skills, • a Visiting Researchers Programme with external, internationally renowned researchers, • ESR Colloquia where all ESRs present and discuss the state and results of their project, and • World Café Meetings with core participants, ESRs and visiting researchers for open discussions.
