The Santander Group Summer Schools are events offered to students from SG member universities. They are organized annually at a different SG member institution.
The objective of this SG’s initiative is to strengthen ties between international students as well as to widen young people’s knowledge about various dimensions of global and European integration, by providing them with an intensive and interdisciplinary program of lectures, discussion panels and workgroups. A diverse social programme is also a splendid opportunity to learn more about the host countries, their people, culture and natural beauty.
SS is an enriching scientific experience as it enables young participants to develop problem oriented approaches for deeper integration in their own regions.  

The SG Summer Schools offer:
•    a wide range of interesting themes
•    excellent speakers
•    unique exchanges of experience and opinions
•    work in small project groups
•    valuable multinational contacts
•    a diverse social programme
•    opportunities for credit transfer
