Summer Schools and International Practicals

As a part of the GP-RSS curriculum, our graduate students will have opportunities to attend summer schools and experience international residency at our partner schools:

Summer Schools

Our students and faculty are encouraged to participate in summer schools hosted by our affiliate research institutions. These Short-term opportunities serve as the basis for longer-term research networking and and international cooperation.

International Practicals

As a mandatory component of our program curriculum, Ph.D. students will be spending a minimum of six months abroad experiencing research residency at our affiliate research institutions. We hope students will take advantage of these opportunities to cultivate their skills in problem-solving and develop international research perspectives.
