The EARA Summer Schools are excellent training contexts for young scholars interested in adolescent development. The first EARA Summer School took place in 2001. From 2008 to 2016, EARA collaborated with SRA to organize Summer Schools, and since 2017, EADP joined the summer school organization.
THE 2027 EADP-EARA-SRA SUMMER SCHOOL
In 2027, the European Association for Developmental Psychology (EADP), the European Association for Research on Adolescence (EARA), and the Society for Research on Adolescence (SRA) will again jointly organize a summer school focusing on research on adolescence. The summer school is a training ground for young scholars interested in adolescent development. The summer school brings together established researchers, recognized for their expertise and teaching abilities with doctoral students from around the globe, for several intensive days of research training. The training includes exposure to innovative and creative research, as well as workshops focusing on professional skills. Previous summer schools have given students enthusiasm to search for scientific guidance outside of the borders of their countries and the walls of their universities.
