The training school will be a combination of lectures by renowned scholars and early early-career researchers ‘ presentations with a strong focus on providing in in-depth feedback on their work. Combining intensive work with socialising on the beautiful Croatian coast, participants will have an excellent opportunity to build supportive and sustainable networks with colleagues working on related topics.
