Welcome

The interdisciplinary Summer School in Higher Education Research and Science Studies (HERSS) is jointly organised by a consortium of higher education research and science studies institutions in Germany and has been taking place since 2015. The focus topic of the Summer School changes annually since a different member of the consortium of organisers hosts the event each year and consequently, it takes place at different locations in Germany.
