First European Communication Conference
KIT, Amsterdam, The Netherlands, November 24-26, 2005

The First European Communication Conference will be held at the KIT (Royal 
Tropical Institute), Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The general theme is 
"Fifty Years of Communication Research in Europe: Past and Future". With 
this conference, communication researchers everywhere in Europe celebrate 
the establishment of many university departments of our discipline half a 
century ago, as well as the 50th anniversary of leading journals of our 
field, such as "Gazette" and "Publizistik". For the first time, both 
European associations of communication and media studies, ECCR and ECA, 
jointly invite scholars to convene and present their research to an 
international audience.

Researchers on communication from various disciplines and from various 
approaches (including interpersonal, organizational and mass communication) 
are invited to submit papers for this conference.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following:

1. 50 years of communication studies
- Historical development of communication research as a discipline in Europe;
- Does European communication research exist at all?
- European communication research in an international context;
- The forgotten questions in communication research;
- Expectations and prospects for the next 50 years of European 
Communication research.

2. State-of-the-art research and theory building
- Assessments of the theories and methods developed in the field during the 
past half century as well as analytical work on lessons learned;
- Critical summaries of research findings in the various (sub)fields of 
European communication research;
- Comparative intra-European communication research;
- Innovative methodologies, pedagogies and theories;
- State-of-the-art research findings;
- Future studies in communication: issues and methods.

Young scholars, in particular, are encouraged to propose papers with 
reflections on the future. The top young scholar paper on the future of 
European Communication Research will be awarded the "Gazette price for 
academic excellence".

The conference will offer both plenary sessions, parallel meetings in 
working groups as well as poster sessions. The organizers also solicit 
ideas and proposals for round tables and panel discussions.

Abstracts for papers, sessions, round tables and posters (not more than 800 
words) should be sent by May 1st to the Department of Communication 
Science, University of Amsterdam, c/o Johannes von Engelhardt, 
Kloveniersburgwal 48, NL-1012 CX Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The first page 
should include the title, the name of the author(s), affiliation, mailing 
address, fax number, and email address. Abstracts can be mailed 
electronically to: (papers /at/ ecc2005.nl)

The abstracts will be judged in an independent peer-review process. Those 
submitting an abstract will be notified of their proposal status no later 
than June 1st.

This conference is convened by the Department of Communication Sciences at 
the University of Amsterdam, the European Communication Association (ECA), 
and the European Consortium for Communication Research (ECCR), together 
with "Gazette".
