The TULIP Summer School is an entirely English-speaking event.

Comprising plenary lectures and a workshop on creating scientific calls for projects at the interface of our disciplines, the Summer School program covers all aspects of interactions between organisms, from the molecular level to the eco-evolutionary scale of interactions within populations and communities.
The Summer School welcomes 24 candidates each year.
Application form at the end, please read the information before submitting your application.

Who can apply ?

Summer School is open to :

• Doctoral students (~15 places)
• Master's students (~5)
• Post-doctoral researchers (~5)

Selected candidates will have the opportunity to :

• Discover new scientific topics at the interface of their chosen field.
• Actively participate in the development of a team research project proposal in these scientific fields.
• Meet senior and junior researchers from research units in Toulouse, Moulis, Perpignan, and internationally.
• Enjoy a pleasant training environment in the Pyrenees.

Program

The list of speakers is almost finalized and will soon be available, along with the program. For this 14th edition, the third at the Germ Mountain Center, we will maintain a program similar to that of previous Summer Schools, while continuing to adapt to the cultural life of our host location.

Mornings are devoted to two or three presentations by supervising scientists, and afternoons to workshops on developing scientific projects at the intersection of the themes that bring us together.

One day will be set aside to enjoy the environment around us, take a break from this relatively intense week, and strengthen the bonds between participants.

Practical information

The event will be held at Centre de Montagne de Germ Louron, a very pleasant working environment, with a team that warmly welcomed us back and is very enthusiastic about hosting the Summer School.

Accommodation and meals will be provided for all participants.
There is no registration fee.
Travel from Toulouse to Germ in the Pyrenees will be paid for and organized by TULIP.

• Meals are prepared using mainly local produce
• Vegetarian dishes are also available
• Bed sheets is provided
• The event is accessible to people with reduced mobility, within the limits of the venue's capacity

Travel costs to and from Toulouse are not covered by TULIP. We do not offer scholarships to cover these costs.
The Summer School is a professional trip for training purposes, so you can ask your laboratory/university to cover this cost, or apply for various mobility grants.
We don't ask you to have the funding at the time of application, but it is a requirement in April. If we don't have the funding, we will offer the place to another candidate.
