Plenary and Social Program

At the GESIS Summer School, we offer a plenary and social program every week.

On Tuesday evenings after class, some of the lecturers who are teaching classes during the week will deliver short presentations about the research they are currently working on. After the presentations, you have an opportunity to mingle with the lecturers, other participants, and members of GESIS staff while enjoying some finger food and a glass of Kölsch or a soft drink.

On Thursdays, we organize an informal get-together for lecturers and participants who are interested in enjoying the atmosphere in a typical Cologne brewery restaurant and trying out culinary specialities from Cologne.

Coffee and lunch breaks provide additional opportunities for networking and informal discussions with other participants.
