What do we offer?
The GSAH will cover your travel expenses (reimbursement) as well as accommodation (double room) and meals at the Hotel Bad Muntelier. You receive an e-reader with preparatory material and have the opportunity to present your research on the Summer School homepage and blog (http://blog.wbkolleg.unibe.ch). Most importantly, you are offered an intellectually stimulating, lively and friendly atmosphere conducive to fruitful exchange with both senior scholars and peers.
Safety concept:
There are currently no entry restrictions in Switzerland due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No proof of vaccination, recovery or testing is required. You will find further information on the website of the SEM. As of April 1, there are no more pandemic restrictions in Switzerland. The last remaining measures whve been dropped, specifically the mask requirement in public transportation and health facilities, and the mandatory five-day isolation requirement after a positive test. However, if you feel even slightly sick, we ask you to test yor Covid status before joining the Summer School and get in contact with us (mike.toggweiler@unibe.ch). During the week, in case participants show symptoms or a positive test result, corresponding instructions will be followed. Participants who test positive for the coronavirus when leaving Switzerland are not the responsibility of the GSAH/Summer School.
