See you next year in Leuven/Belgium August 31st - September 4th 2026!
The European Summer School for Scientometrics (esss) offers advanced training in scientometrics, covering key methods, indicators, and major databases. The program combines solid theoretical foundations with hands-on applications in contexts ranging from academic research to science policy and evaluation.
It is aimed at researchers—especially PhD candidates and early-career scholars—as well as research managers, librarians, and information professionals interested in science and technology indicators.
A hallmark of the esss are its outstanding social events (look here), which not only foster genuine community and lasting connections but also provide the unique chance to meet and engage with the leading experts of the field on a personal level.

Naturally I support any efforts to educate the younger generation of scientists and librarians on how to make constructive use of the bibliometric and scientometric data that is available to them. I wish you all the best in your new endeavor. Best wishes.
