About the Summer School
The NetSec Early-Career Scholars Summer School (ECS³) aims to provide training and mentorship to Early-Career Researchers (ECR) in order to foster the next generation of European security scholars.
It is organised jointly by the European Initiative for Security Studies (EISS) and Stockholm University, under the framework and financial support of the COST Action NetSec.
The long-term ambition of the Summer School is to contribute to promoting academic excellence in Europe and to nurture the development of a new generation of scholars that engage on international & European security issues with their counterparts across the globe. It is an excellent opportunity for early career researchers to receive feedback on their work, expand their networks, and engage with leading scholars in the field.
The inaugural NetSec Summer School took place at Stockholm University from 9 to 11 June 2026, in the lead-up to the European Security Studies Conference.
Applications for the 2026 edition have closed. NetSec keeps the authoritative page for eligibility, financial support, the lecturer line-up and future calls.
