ISSEM 21st International Summer School in Economics and Management

2 week program in Havana, Cuba: September 16th - 30th, 2024

ISSEM 2024

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 €).

Due to an error in our email system the day of the application deadline, June 16th, some applications got lost. Should you not have received an email confirming that we have received your application, please send it again together with the error code. 

Who can participate?

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.

Announcement: Do you want to work with us?
