VU Amsterdam Summer School - cogs and wheels

Summerschool Logic as a Tool for Modelling

VU Amsterdam Summer School - cogs and wheels This course will introduce you to classical logic and the different systems of reasoning that arise as variations. Explore how logical formalisms can be used to model diverse phenomena spanning from social sciences to natural languages and the notion of categories and categorisation in the handling of applications. Learn to model knowledge, agency, and language with logical tools.

Summerschool Credibility and Rigour in Management Research

This summer school is tailored for advanced master’s, PhDs, and early-career scholars across all management disciplines (e.g., strategy, entrepreneurship, leadership). Learn to design rigorous, transparent, and replicable studies through hands-on workshops in open science, robust methods, and critical appraisal. Work with leading experts, pressure-test your projects, and leave with concrete improvements such as preregistration plans, and reproducible code. You’ll also reflect on research values and how to embed credibility from idea to publication. Expect an energizing cohort, practical tools you can use immediately, and a lasting community committed to raising the impact and relevance of management research.

Summerschool Critical Learning in the Age of AI

A woman is working on her laptop and is using a collaboration tool Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) is transforming how you read, write, and learn. In this intensive two-week course, you explore how tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini shape your academic practice while challenging ideas of understanding, authorship, and integrity. You examine how AI systems work, analyze AI-generated content for bias and misinformation, and apply learning, cognitive, and ethical theories to real study situations. Through discussions and workshops, you develop a Personal Education Plan (PEP) to guide responsible, independent, and meaningful learning in an AI-rich university environment.
