Summer Schools
The ICRPS summer school provides students with the opportunity to study in two countries. For students who wish to attend two consecutive summer schools (one in North America and one in Europe), the program includes advanced topics and an opportunity to share research results with faculty and other students. Students work in groups to make presentations, analyse documents, prepare policy briefs, meet policy professionals and take part in field trips.

Each intensive summer school connects faculty and international students in a dedicated learning environment. In addition, each summer school session is a combination of new and returning students, which enhances the mutual learning experience of both years. Students can take online courses for credit between the two summer schools, as well as pursue a policy research project.

Upcoming Summer School
The 2009 ICRPS summer school will be hosted by the University of Highlands and Islands. Details about the 2009 program will be available in late 2008.
