The Summer School of Personality Science (SSPS) is a week-long summer school sponsored by the European Association of Personality Psychology (EAPP) with approximately 16 graduate students (master's and PhD level) and approximately four or more internationally renowned experts. It aims to provide cutting-edge and specialized education as well as hands-on experience to talented personality psychology students from all over the world. The mini-curriculum, with different course formats (e.g., lectures, seminars, workshops, panel discussions, mentoring, luncheons), contains a broad variety of current and important topics in personality science and provides student attendees with career advice and networking opportunities.
