The sixth Summer Institute in Urban Studies will take place in Belgium, between 7 and 11 July 2025. It is jointly organized by the Urban Studies Institute (University of Antwerp), Brussels Centre for Urban Studies (Vrije Universiteit Brussel), Stadsacademie (Ghent University), KU Leuven Urban Studies Institute (KU Leuven) and The University of Manchester, with support from the Urban Geography journal.

The Summer Institute features contributions from internationally renowned academics from across urban studies, from inside and outside of the host universities. The Summer Institute comprises an intensive, four-day programme of activities and is open to:
– doctoral students (usually post-fieldwork);
– post-doctoral researchers;
– recently appointed faculty and lecturers (normally within three years of the first continuous appointment).
