The First ESA Summer School was held at the University of Milan (Italy), last July 3^rd-7^th 2006, co-sponsored by ESA and the Department of Social and Political Studies of that University. Its subject  was “Immigration in Europe”.

It has been a great success: 330 young researchers (doctoral and post-doctoral) applied from all European countries. Among them, 30 participants from several countries have been selected to whom a full grant was offered for participating into the school. For a full week they have attended lectures in the mornings; invited lecturers included some of the best specialists in Sociology of Migrations. In the afternoons workshops, participants have presented their own research project to the discussion. The results have been intense work and fruitful exchanges among young researchers engaged in such field of Sociology.
