The program for the 2023 edition is now online
The Summer School for Women* in Political Methodology is hosted by several female researchers from various European Universities. The Summer School has the aim of establishing a European network of women working in political methodology and data science.
During the 7-day program, the Summer School seeks to promote technical skills, provide mentorship, and encourage networking and peer support for women working with quantitative social scientific research methods, in particular in Political Science.
The final day of the Summer School is always dedicated to a supervised Workshop during which fellows have the opportunity to brainstorm, develop, and be mentored on a project of their choice. This might include a data visualization project, writing code, or analyzing data.
Who is eligible to apply?
The Summer School is designed for PhD students, as well as postdocs and junior scholars who identify as women* and who work in the field of Political Science or related disciplines. Participation in the Summer School requires some prior statistical knowledge, as well as basic R skills.
Where to apply?
The Call for Applications for the 2023 edition will open on 28th of February 2023!
Places in the Summer School are limited, so the application is intended to determine if the program is a good fit for you. In 2023, there will be approximately 20 funded places available.

The summer school offers several fellowships funded by the University of Basel. The fellowship includes tuition, accommodation, lunch and two dinners. Where no university funding is available, we can contribute up to 250 CHF to travel costs. Accommodation will be arranged in 2-bed rooms.
