Spring Research Seminar in Brescia, 31 March – 4 April 2025
Programme
The seminar provides training for doctoral students in research design, critical thinking and effective writing. There are sessions on current research by the academic team on internationalisation of higher education, and all students are given the opportunity to present their work and receive feedback. Download the Draft Programme.
Location & accommodation
The 2025 Autumn Seminar will take place at the Centro Paolo VI Centre in Brescia.
Participants can make their own accommodation arrangements, but we encourage participants to stay at the Centro since it offers an invaluable opportunity to be part of the CHEI community, and to meet peers and the academic team outside the seminar programme. You can book your room here. Cancellations can be made up to midnight, without charge, before the date of arrival (check).
Fee
The seminar fee is EUR 800.
This includes attendance at the in-person seminar, plus access to the online programme which is held between April and June. The fee also includes the welcome aperitivo, the CHEI community dinner, and refreshments during the breaks.

The registrations will open early February 2025.
