Approximately 15-20 years ago, NUPP leaders in academia hosted an annual Summer School for PhD students that rotated between hosts and venues across the country. The NUPP community came together at the 2024 AIP Congress and identified professional development of our HDR students as an immediate strategic priority. In 2026, the NUPP Executive Committee aims to reimagine this tradition with a Postgraduate Summer School designed to foster community, deepen knowledge, and equip students with the skills required to thrive in today’s diverse and evolving job markets.
