2025 EITM Summer Institute

University of Michigan

August 4, 2025 to August 15, 2025

Funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), this program trains graduate students and early career researchers in EITM, a research strategy that integrates theoretical models and empirical research to improve and expand our understanding of politics. The institute integrates developments and findings from throughout political science, including the substantive areas of American politics, comparative politics, international relations, and political economy.

The primary benefits of EITM for student participants are: 

  • Instruction by leading scholars in the discipline on cutting edge methods 
  • Deeper understanding of philosophical and epistemological considerations in theory building and evaluation 
  • Support and feedback on students’ own research by EITM faculty and participants 
  • A network of EITM students, alumni, and faculty that will provide constructive engagement long after the institute concludes 

EITM 2025 took place from August 4 to August 15, 2025. The institute was hosted by the University of Michigan.
