How to apply

​The Winter School is targeted to doctoral and post-doctoral students. Admission is conditional on the presentation by each student of his/her doctoral work; therefore, applicants normally need to be advanced in their PhD to have produced at least one substantive chapter, but are not requested to have completely finished their thesis.

EAERE membership is not required for applications, but it is encouraged. EAERE Membership is required for accepted applicants: participation is restricted to 2026 EAERE members.

In order to apply please fill in the following mandatory documentation as a single .pdf file to Ws.Eaere@univ-smb.fr with the subject line “Application EAERE/USMB Winter School + Last name” in this order:

• Application form
• Letter of motivation
• Curriculum vitae
• Letter of recommendation from supervisor
• First draft of the paper to be presented (no restrictions regarding length). Both full papers and extended abstracts will be accepted, with preference given to full papers.

The deadline for applications is December 17^th, 2025.
