Summer Schools
EARA seeks to organize Research Schools, that is, summer schools and pre-conference doctoral training, as often as possible. Specifically, at these schools, students will:
- Learn about different content areas of adolescent research. Senior researchers will give presentations in their own area of expertise. The senior researchers will be selected to represent diverse areas of adolescent research.
- Receive feedback on their own research. Students will present their own dissertation research and receive feedback from the senior researchers and other students.
- Receive advisement from senior researchers. Students will meet with senior researchers one-on-one and in groups for mentoring sessions.
The first EARA Summer School, organised by the former EARA president, Monique Bolognini, took place in July 2001 near Lake Geneva in Switzerland and was a great success. Sixteen Ph.D. students participated and among the teachers were Lawrence Steinberg, Håkan Stattin, Margaret Kerr, Jari-Erik Nurmi, Bruna Zani and Peter Noack, to name a few.
The second EARA Summer School took place in July 2003 at the Marbach castle, in Germany, during the period July 20 -26, 2003. Eightteen Ph.D. students participated (among which four from the United States) and the presenters/mentors were Jacquelynne Eccles, Rutger Engels, Alexander von Eye, Luc Goossens, Leo Hendry, Marion Kloep, and Rainer Silbereisen.
The third 2006 EARA Summer School was a three-day event just before the EARA Conference in Antalya.
