ERCIS BPM Winter School on Advanced BPM Topics 2025

Since 2011, the ERCIS has organized the ERCIS BPM Winter School together with the University of Liechtenstein. Next year, the Winter School will take place in Seville for the first time. During this one-week seminar, which is open to students from ERCIS member institutions, around 20 students from all over the world come together to learn and discuss current, future, and advanced business process management topics with some of the most renowned BPM researchers. TU Dortmund University students have been able to participate since 2023.

Topics of the Winter School are expected to include aspects such as Process Science, Process Mining, Robotic Process Automation and others.

The Winter School will take place again in 2025 as an ERASMUS+ Blended Intensive Program (BIP). This means that funding opportunities under the ERASMUS program are open to students. We recommend attending the Business Process Management module in the summer semester to prepare for the Winter School.
