ESTIEM Summer Academy
The ESTIEM Summer Academy was set up to bring together international students during summer holidays to engage in open discussion, group work, debate and private study under a senior Academic Leader. By talking, studying and mixing with students from all over the world all participants gain new ideas and perspectives, not just on their profession but also on other cultures. Additionally, in the end of the two weeks lasting Summer Academy, every participant writes a short thesis. From the year 2003 on, the thesis from the Summer Academy led by Prof. Dietrich Brandt are collected and published, and can be downloaded on ESTIEM's website. A second facilitator of Summer Academies is Prof. Jim Platts from Cambridge University.
