In Situ Graduate School (ISGS)

Guided by the spirit of collaboration, innovation, and exploration, the In Situ Graduate School (ISGS) is an initiative that fuses disciplines and transcends borders. The ISGS revolves around a dynamic five- or six-day programme featuring lectures, intensive seminars, and ample opportunities for local and international early career scholars to engage with the ISGS convenors and their peers to discuss their research. 

Augmented by enriching field visits, the journey culminates in a lively seminar, where participants – often organised into small research groups – share and unveil insights from their on-site research. The objective is to cultivate fresh insights and methodologies within these thematic realms, while supporting young researchers by exposing their work in thematically evocative settings. In this light, the ISGS serves as an inclusive platform for PhD students and early career scholars globally, striving to form new transnational, interdisciplinary communities of young researchers.
