• July/August 2022: European Summer School in Canadian Studies
  Initially we expected the European Summer School School in Canadian Studies to be postponed for only one year, but in the light of the second wave of the pandemic, our team has decided to defer the ESSCS to post-Corona times. We hope that comprehensive immunization against the virus will have been achieved by 2022 and that the summer school can take place then. The European Summer School in Canadian Studies offers an academic programme in Canadian Studies, which combines a master-class format (including case study units) with independent study, expert meetings, and a cultural programme.
