LMU Stipends for LERU Doctoral Summer Schools
Since 2010 LMU Munich grants stipends for the annual LERU Doctoral Summer Schools. LERU (League of European Research Universities) is an association of 23 research-intensive universities in Europe.
This year's LERU Doctoral Summer School is hosted by Heidelberg University from July 2 until July 7, 2023.
The theme of the Summer School is "Concepts of intervention science applied to global challenges".
The LERU network aims to prepare future scientists and societal leaders to tackle global challenges and facilitate interdisciplinary research, innovation, and communication. In this year's summer school, the organizers aim at equipping the next generation of scientists with understanding of main concepts and methods of intervention science and applying them to the converging global challenges: climate change, pandemics, and societal injustice.
The application deadline was March 15, 2023.
