[ecrea] ECREA Doctoral Summer School in Ljubljana (15 ? 27 August 2010)
Fri Jan 15 09:54:05 GMT 2010
Call for Participants: 2010 ECREA European Media
and Communication Doctoral Summer School
We are happy to invite you to participate in the
ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral
Summer School 2010 that will take place in
Ljubljana, Slovenia from 15 ? 27 August 2010.
The ECREA European Media and Communication
Doctoral Summer School 2010 brings together
members of the European research community to
this summer school in order to debate
contemporary issues in media, communication and
cultural studies. The main emphasis of this
summer school is on providing structural and
individuated PhD-support for young European
scholars, through a variety of working forms,
including feedback seminars, workshops, and
lectures. The summer school aims to provide a
supportive international setting where doctoral
students can present their ongoing work, receive
feedback on their PhD-projects from international
experts and meet students and academics from
other countries, establishing valuable contacts
for the future. The summer school also generates
a clear picture of the international landscape of
communication and media research, and its
diversity of academic cultures, allowing
PhD-students to situate themselves within this
academic field. The summer school will take place
in the premises of Faculty of Social Sciences,
University of Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The summer school is open to the full variety of
academic work in the broad field of communication
and media studies. The overall theme for the
programme - Cultural and technological challenges
of media globalisation and convergence in Europe
provides just one of the many topical focal
points of the summer school. The theme will not
be used as a criterion for participant selection.
All PhD projects within the field of
communication and media studies are welcomed.
There are two options to attend the summer school:
1. For students whose universities are a member
of the organizing consortium
(<http://www.comsummerschool.org/node/198#members#members>see
list below) the summer school will provide:
- summer school materials (including 2 books),
- accommodation, breakfast, coffee and lunches,
- partial travel refund ? up to 75% of (cheapest
possible) travel costs to the summer school
location (Ljubljana) taking into account the
maximum eligible costs set by Erasmus IP (table
is available at Summer school website
<http://www.comsummerschool.org/>http://www.comsummerschool.org/).
In order to get the refund, students will have to
send in their original boarding passes and
tickets, travel agent invoices and receipts to
the summer school coordinator no later than
September 3 (date of stamp). Otherwise no refund will be provided.
Payment of a membership contribution of 450 Euros
for a series of supplementary activities
(research seminars, round table and social
events) organised by the Slovene Communication Association is required.
The Summer school gives full recognition to the
activities of participating students who are
awarded 10 ECTS credits for their participation
in the full programme (including the supplementary activities).
The total number of students will be limited to
45, up to 35 from consortium members and 10 students through ECREA.
2. For students whose universities are not a
member of the organizing consortium
(<http://www.comsummerschool.org/node/198#members#members>see
list below) but are individual members of ECREA
or whose institution is an institutional member
of members (see http://www.ecrea.eu/memberlist),
the summer school will provide:
- summer school materials (including 2 books),
- accommodation, breakfast, coffee and lunches.
Payment of a membership contribution of 550 Euros
for the supplementary activities (research
seminars, round table and social events)
organised by the Slovene Communication Association is required.
The Summer school gives full recognition to the
activities of participating students who are
awarded 10 ECTS credits for their participation
in the full programme (including the supplementary activities).
The total number of students will be limited to
45, up to 35 from consortium members and 10 students through ECREA.
The deadline for applications for the summer
school is April 9. A wide range of student papers
is sought for, and it is not necessary to fit
into the yearly theme of the doctoral summer
school. The working language of the summer school
will be English; therefore a sufficient
understanding and ability to express oneself in this language is expected.
Application procedure - stage 1: When applying,
each interested student is expected fill out a
form (the link can be found in the left hand
menu) on the summer school website. Prior
registration on the website is necessary. (The
approval of the website account may take up to
2-3 days.) Uncompleted applications will not be
eligible. Applications can only be submitted via
the summer school website
(<http://www.comsummerschool.org/>http://www.comsummerschool.org).
This application form will include:
1. a short CV according to the provided
<http://www.comsummerschool.org/node/193>forms
2. an abstract of their PhD project (no more than
400 words, with a structure and contents of their choosing)
The abstracts of all successful applicants will
also be published in the summer school book (see
the summer school website for an online version
of the 2006, 2007 and 2008 books
<http://www.researchingcommunication.eu/>www.researchingcommunication.eu).
Students are therefore requested to pay close
attention that all details of their abstracts are
correct and that proper English is used. Students
will have possibility to update their information
during the application procedure, thus early submission is encouraged.
Notification of acceptance will come during the
first week of May. Accepted students should start
making their travel arrangements as soon as
possible to ensure the lowest price.
Details of the summer school programme will be
updated regularly based on the draft programme
available on the web. The
<http://www.comsummerschool.org/node/105>2009
progamme can be regarded as an example of
structure of the summer school, the type of
activities and the lecturers of the summer school.
Application procedure - stage 2: Students whose
abstracts are accepted will be expected to
provide the following documents and information in the second phase:
1. A 10-page (3000 words) paper on their PhD
project as a whole. The 10 page paper should be a
report of the student?s ongoing doctoral research
and not a conventional conference paper or a
report of findings. Rather, it is expected that
the student will briefly present the focus of the
research and then take up aspects of the research
process: methodological, theoretical and
practical issues on which he/she would like to
receive feedback. (Deadline: June 14)
2. A set of questions (maximum 1 page) with
questions or problems that students would like to
be discussed during the workshops. This one page
needs to be part of the same Word/PDF file that
also contains the 10-page paper. (Deadline: June 14)
3. Based on the abstracts and titles of other
student papers, everyone is expected to choose up
to 3 papers they would be interested in being a
respondent. This preference will be taken into
consideration while setting up student working groups. (Deadline June 20)
4. By the time of the summer school, each student
has to prepare a 10-minute seminar presentation
covering the main points of their work. Each
student is also expected to actively participate
in the discussions of their own and other
people?s work. As mentioned above, they will act
as a respondent of someone else?s paper. In order
to ensure maximum benefits of the seminars,
everyone will have to read other participants papers before the summer school.
All questions concerning the application
procedure and other information can be directed
to the Co-ordinator of the Summer School: Ilija
