“Both the guest house and education center are amazing, and all the services they provided — food, rooms, technical support for the presentations etc. Overall atmosphere was extremely friendly and thought-provoking. I liked the idea of having one English class in the end of the day too.”

“Very good professional professors. The cohort was overall very competitive, really. And I loved that I was very challenged in the environment.”

“I really liked the instructors. They covered all the material that they were planning to cover and gave very good intuition for the stuff they were covering.”

“Very nice that it was not a textbook theory, but more applied approach with discussion of the papers; both Victoria and Vladimir were very nice and open to communication.”

“The materials covered were explained in a very good and intuitive way.”

“Now I have the overall picture of what is going on in empirical research.”

“I really liked that Mattias shared his personal experience about publications, generation of ideas and overall life in academia.”

“I really liked the Summer school including lectures, Armenian culture and people as well. I proposed to visit Armenia with my family to enjoy Armenian culture and nature once more.”

“I appreciate the effort of the whole YES team to organize the summer school. Overall, it was a nice experience in terms of meeting to Professors and friends in a variety of research interests. The logistics were wonderful: YES team took care of us in accommodation, food, and activities to discover Dilijan.”

“An amazing experience. This is not exaggeration or politeness - the Summer School was very useful and joyful. I am deeply thankful to all the organizers, lecturers, and audience members.”
