2 week program in Havana, Cuba: September 18th - October 2nd, 2023

ISSEM 2023

Some of the courses will take place in the Faculty of Economics of La Universidad de La Habana and some in the Hotel Habana Libre. Both are located in Vedado and in walking distance from each other.

There is no participation fee this year. Nonetheless, students should anticipate the following costs: flight (~600 - 900 €), accommodation (~ 25 €/ night; to reduce costs rooms can usually be shared), visa service and social activities (~ 150 €).

Click here to pay the contribution for visa service and social activities. After receving payments, you can either pick up your tourist card in our office or have it sent to the address stated in your application form. If you'd like us to send it to a different address, please contact us. 

We appreciate applications from students from all over the world. The ISSEM is not an internal summer school of the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin. The ISSEM is not restricted to certain minor or mayor degrees. Explain in your letter of motivation why it is important for you personally to take part in ISSEM - for you personally and for your carreer.

As part of your application you need to send us: 
- a filled out application form
- letter of motivation
- transcript of records
- CV

Please send all of the above (in English) as one conjoined PDF to our e-mail address: info@issem.de

Once admission has started, we will open a facebook group 'ISSEM 202X', as well as the 'moodle course' ISSEM202X, where all participants (not only HU students) can register and get in touch with each other.
