The Empirical Implication of Theoretical Models Summer Institute is a training program, developed in the United States for graduate students and junior faculty, on the development and application of research designs that integrate theoretical models with empirical research with the purpose of advancing our understanding of politics.
The EITM Europe is a similar program, based in Europe and directed by Thomas König of the University of Mannheim, Germany.

The 2019 edition of EITM Europe will take place from 22 June until 5 July 2019 at the Collegio Carlo Alberto in Turin, Italy. It is directed by Thomas König (University of Mannheim) in collaboration with Fabio Franchino (NASP-University of Milan).

The program provides an introduction to basic concepts as well as the most recent developments in research design diagnosis and survey research with a particular focus on causal inference and the design, analysis, and application of survey experiments. The courses will be taught by leading scholars in four modules (plus a refresher course).

The faculty includes: James Lo (University of Southern California), Thomas Bräuninger (University of Mannheim), Graeme Blair (UCLA), and Richard Traunmüller (University of Mannheim).

The application deadline for the EITM 2019 summer institute is May 1, 2019.
