The rationale behind the idea of annual summer schools is to offer particularly promising doctoral candidates the opportunity of becoming the spearhead of research in career guidance and counselling and related research. The programme encompasses ECTS credited activities to develop the research competences of participants, for example by introducing, experimenting with, and developing new research methods. Participants should not only become highly competent researchers in our field and develop innovative knowledge, but also develop their teaching, management, communication and networking competences. Due to the practice-orientation of our field, we support the participants in the development of their own competences in career guidance and counselling. Summer schools consist of various working methods: presentations, workshops, study visits, and freetime activities. A central part of the programme is currently collective academic supervision (CAS) which facilitates academic learning. The main idea of CAS is that doctoral researchers meet in small groups, present their thesis project as a work-in-progress, and benefit from feedback from peers and more experienced academics.
