EITM Summer Institute in Mannheim: A Unique Opportunity for PhDs and junior faculty
The Empirical Implications of Theoretical Models (EITM) Summer Institute is an internationally renowned training programme designed for graduate students and junior faculty. Originally launched in the United States, it focuses on advancing our understanding of politics by integrating theoretical models with empirical research.
EITM Europe, directed by Thomas König from the University of Mannheim, Germany, invites you on the topic of ‘Democratic representation and its challenges’ from 9 to 20 June 2025 to the University of Mannheim. The programme offers a great experience:
- Instruction by leading experts: Learn from scholars in the discipline on the use and integration of cutting-edge theoretical and empirical methodological tools.
- A strong foundation for publication: Develop a deeper understanding of theoretical and methodological foundations that are necessary for publishing in top academic journals.
- Personalized research support: Receive support and feedback on your work from EITM faculty and participants, helping you refine your expertise.
- Collaborative opportunities: Engage in small-group settings with fellow participants, fostering collaboration and innovation.
- A lasting professional network: Join a vibrant community of former and current EITM participants and faculty that will provide constructive engagement long after the institute concludes.
The EITM Europe Summer Institute is an outstanding opportunity for scholars aiming to enhance their research capabilities and build connections within the academic community. The first week will focus on theoretical and methodological foundations, followed by a week applying these tools and techniques to the study of democratic representation.
