Welcome to the HGSFP Summer School 2026

Following our tradition, we are pleased to announce a new edition of the HGSFP Summer School, which will take place from 24 to 29 August 2026 in Gérardmer, located in the beautiful Vosges area. 

 

The HGSFP Summer School is organised by and for HGSFP students to enable PhD students from different research areas to get to know each other and share their scientific interests. The school includes lecture courses on selected topics from all branches of the HGSFP given by experts in the field, special lectures by participants, and poster sessions where participants can share and discuss their research activities with other students. The program will also include time for social activities to allow participants to spend time together and enjoy the Vosges area.

 
Accommodation and travel costs will be covered by the HGSFP up to a 50€ registration fee.
