Venue: Institute of Education ULisboa, Portugal
Date: 23-26 June 2026
Application deadline: 31 March 2025
SUSEES is a Summer School in European Education Studies open to 20 emerging researchers from all across the world who intend to consolidate their expertise in studying education policies, practices and outcomes assuming the European dimension as the privileged point of observation.
The 2025 edition of SUSEES will be held at the Institute of Education, University of Lisbon, from June 23rd to 26th.
SUSEES promotes innovation in teaching and research, fostering theoretical and methodological imagination in the field of educational research, and acts as a laboratory for emergent researchers to develop interdisciplinary thinking and research about European education.
Participants will be involved in a 4 days and 30 hours module where renowned scholars from the field of educational research will be asked to present and discuss specific theories and related methodological developments and demonstrate how these are used in their own work on European education. The resulting dialogic and dynamic environment will provide participants with new insights on the potentials of the theoretical and methodological resources in producing new research questions on European education.
