Action Research Summer Camp

Application

Applications for the 2025 course through our registration plattform are open October 1 through November 15, 2024. ERASMUS+ partner university students and faculty apply directly through local contact (starting mid-September 2024). 

The course participants and the members of the Waldhüttl community, our venue, are based across different countries in Europe and beyond. The Camp will use English as the main language for communication, but many other languages will be spoken on site. There is no need to provide proof of your language proficiency.

All applicants are requested to submit a 2-3 page letter of interest (3,000 to 4,000 characters) along with a short CV. These details will be used to select a group of 25 to 30 participants. Please provide us with your motivation to participate in the programme and highlight any relevant experience related to it.

See below how to participate. Please also read the terms and conditions!

Applicants from ERASMUS+ Partner Universities

If you are a student enrolled at one of our partner universities or a faculty member, you can use the course as an outgoing mobility opportunity, as the Camp is offered as a "Blended Intensive Programme", BIP for short. Funds to cover your travel expenses will be provided by your home institution through the ERASMUS+ Individual Mobility initiative.
