Important:
- Note that many workshops have some prerequisites.
- Note that Preliminary workshops have different starting dates.
- All workshops are subject to cancellation until June 16th if there are fewer than 8 (paid) registrations.
The "Confirmed" column shows a tick mark (✔ ) as soon as the corresponding workshop has reached that threshold.
We're excited to announce an expansion of the Summer School in Social Science Methods, offering a dedicated program for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in collaboration with the IMCA institute at USI. The Doctoral School ‘Socio-Cultural Approaches in Business Studies: Theoretical Foundations and Theory-Building’.
Program Highlights:
- Foundational Courses: Gain in-depth knowledge through a series of courses, each focusing on a key theoretical approach in socio-cultural business studies.
- Readings & Case Studies: Delve into key founding texts and influential domain-specific texts to understand how theoretical approaches have been applied in marketing and organization studies.
- Immersive Workshop: Participate in a one-week workshop within the Summer School that provides practical teaching on enhancing theoretical contributions in your research papers.
Registrations for the first course in Interpretivism and Sensemaking are now open. To find out more, visit the dedicated webpages here.

Detailed explanations
- The workshop application status is based on the number of persons who have applied for a workshop, i.e. conditional applications. Only the payment of the registration fee within three weeks from reception of the invoice confirms the application and makes the registration final.
- If a workshop is marked "Full", it does not necessarily mean that the workshop is confirmed and the minimum number of confirmed participants has been reached; this is particularly true the first few weeks (late January, February) after registration opens. Prospective participants register quickly, but sometimes change plans, cannot raise funds to attend Summer School etc.
- The status will change from "Open" to "Full", if only a few places are left.
-
Please note that the status may change back to "Open" if registrations are cancelled by the registrant or by us (no payment received despite a reminder e-mail).
