The organization of WASP Centrally Arranged Study Trips has changed. From now on, there will be two centrally arranged trips in the fall and two in the spring. All PhD students will continue to be offered two centrally arranged trips during their first two years.
If you decline or are unable to participate in your offered trip, there is no possibility to “save” the trip for later, but you can always join cluster trips or self-organized study trips.
Who will be invited?
Class 2024 (start date in WASP between June 15, 2023, and June 14, 2024)
Has received invitations to this year’s trips, which will be their second and final centrally arranged study trip.
Class 2025 (started in WASP after June 15, 2024)
Will be invited to their first trip in the spring of 2026 and their second trip in the spring of 2027.
This year’s study trips: Los Angeles and the Netherlands
The WASP international study trips for 2025 will go to Los Angeles and the Netherlands. Separate invitations to these study trips has been sent out to the affected PhD students.
We hope to continue offering each participant one long distance (outside of Europe) and one short distance (within Europe) trip during their first two years in the program. However, the current global situation at the time of the trips may cause plans to change.
If you are interested in organizing or participating in a self-organized study trip, you are recommended to ask in Slack.
