The Swiss PhD Network in Democracy Studies, and in short Democarcy Studies Network, offers early career researchers (ECR) from the social sciences and related disciplines a platform for intensive dialogue and the exchange of knowledge on the topic of democracy studies.
Members of the Network share their respective curricular offerings specialised in Democracy Studies and have the opportunity to take over the teaching of the Democracy Studies Advanced Module. Any doctoral candidate affiliated with any network institution is welcome to attend any course at the PhD level.
Members of the Network meet every year at the Democracy Studies Forum, followed by the Democracy Studies Annual Lecture.
Each year, a different partner institution of the Network takes the lead in organizing the Swiss Summer School in Democracy Studies.
