The Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture is the annual meeting of the Lisbon Consortium’s MA and PhD Program in Culture Studies. It takes place at several cultural institutions in Lisbon and brings together leading scholars in the field of culture and doctoral students and young researchers from all around the world.

The Summer School is organized into three types of sessions: keynote lectures by invited speakers and faculty members; master classes with invited specialists; and paper presentations where doctoral students and early career researchers can discuss their ongoing work with faculty and invited speakers.

The Lisbon Summer School for the Study of Culture is a member of the European Summer School in Cultural Studies and the Excellence Network in Cultural Studies. The 2024 edition is organized in collaboration with the Critical Humanities Network and will be the first Transform4Europe Summer School.
