Do you want to improve your curriculum, or do you simply want to spend the summer actively and learn something useful? We bring you an updated list of summer schools that focus on international human rights law, democratisation, and much more. The selection is diverse enough for everyone to find their favourite topic.

In case the summer school is to be held in person, we recommend checking if the summer school has not been changed to online form due to COVID-19 restrictions.
