The sense of "coming home" at this summer school was truly remarkable. Being welcomed as a friend, cared for, and intellectually challenged by both peers and professors made for an unforgettable experience. This program has set a high standard for other PhD initiatives/conferences and has left a lasting impression on my heart.

For the next summer school, it might be helpful to provide a "how to get there" guide (e.g. insider tips on the best local travel apps, whether to tap or swipe for payments, and recommendations on the fastest routes—whether by bus or train). This isn't a critique, just a suggestion to enhance the experience for future attendees.

I did not get to learn about ALL research projects due to the schedule.

The highlight for me was being welcomed with kindness and support. The concept of the doctoral summer school is so important for emerging researchers and it was calming to be met with such support for everyone's projects and processes.

I understand the reasons why the presentations were divided into two parts, which I think was beneficial. However, dividing the viewing audience into two rooms was less appealing as the audience (students and academics alike) did not receive the benefit of seeing the entirety of the student projects.

Even though this was stressful, I have learned a lot from and was really happy to receive the kind and curious feedback and input from the professors and more experienced researchers. All feedback was thoughtful, meant to make us think and improve our projects. I enjoyed immersing myself in this experience, living in the research bubble and conversing with all of you.

I do not have a specific lowlight. The organisation was great. As a small suggestion, it could be nice to sum up the student presentation sessions with some key takeaways and/or things for the PhD students to remember (or even at the end/beginning of the day)? This was done in some sessions but not in all.

As a contained event, this was the single most formative experience of my PhD program thus far. The feedback, mentorship, and collaboration with professors and PhD students from across contexts was invaluable. It is hard to express the full scope of my gratitude.

I do not have much to add here. I hope that we can continue to stay in touch and collaborate throughout our careers!

I found the plenary sessions to be incredibly inspiring and helpful for navigating academia. The feedback in the sessions for my own project and for others helped me adjust and reconstruct a stronger plan for my thesis. The event organizers clearly went to significant lengths to make the program a smooth, welcoming, and safe place for sharing our ongoing work.

While the two separate presentations provided more than one opportunity to present our work, which was valuable, it did present challenges as some of the audience questions would have been answered by the 'missing half' of the project details. It might have been beneficial to have everyone present once and have the entire group together.

getting really lost/struggling with site accessibility, would love some more time to do tourist things?

the breadth of academic presentations was really fantastic
