Summer Opportunities

The Diverse Intelligences Summer Institute will bring together promising early-career scholars (graduate students, postdocs, and faculty) for several weeks of serious interdisciplinary exploration. Those interested in the origins, nature, and future of intelligences—regardless of discipline—are invited to apply. The 2025 theme is “AI and the Natural World”—in other words, how AI can inform our understanding of living systems (e.g., animals, plants, ecosystems) and how living systems can inspire new directions in AI—but work does not need to connect with this theme. The program takes place in St. Andrews, Scotland, July 6-27, 2025. Application review begins March 1, 2025, and will continue until all spots are filled. Find out more on the website. 

The Summer Institute on Longitudinal Data Analysis at the Methodology Center at Purdue is now accepting applications. The program will take place July 13–18, 2025, at Purdue University in West Lafayette, IN. This intensive week-long program will offer in-depth training on publicly available longitudinal data sources and advanced longitudinal data analysis techniques. Applicants should have a strong background in quantitative methods but a need for additional training in longitudinal data analysis. We welcome applications from graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and industry researchers. Most selected attendees will receive tuition waivers and additional travel funds are available (if applicable). The application deadline is March 15, 2025. Read more on the website.
