We’re happy to be able to maintain the collaboration between ECPR (LOGOPOL), EURA, and the LocRef COST research community, and present this year’s Summer School, organized with the Central European University. The 2018 edition – “Collaborative local government for an open society” – will be held in Budapest (from 9th to 14th July 2018), and is one of the long-lasting series of summer courses for Ph.D. students interested in local government issues. It gives an opportunity to develop the understanding of comparative local government studies in Europe and to discuss Ph.D. dissertations/research projects with an experienced international faculty of different disciplines.

For further academic information on the course, eligibility criteria and funding options please visit the web site at: http://summeruniversity.ceu.edu/collaborative-2018.

Applications are due until March 20th, 2018. We kindly invite you to circulate this information to potential candidates.
