[ecrea] Marie Slowdowska-Curie Individual Fellowships 2014

Tue Apr 15 22:19:44 GMT 2014




Loughborough University, UK has just launched an exciting research challenge in the field of communication, media and cultural studies :



Communication, Culture and Citizenship

Challenge

Communication can bring people together. Alternatively, it can tear communities apart. Culture can divide and it can reconcile. Understanding the processes through which inclusion and exclusion occur can contribute to creating more equal and just societies where individuals can flourish as citizens.

Loughborough’s Contribution

We address the problematics of inclusion (the structures and histories that may obstruct or enable its realization), the performance of inclusion (the complex ways in which communality is performed and articulated through social relations, interactions and cultural activities) and the practices of inclusion (the development of innovative strategies, policies and products that promote greater opportunity, equality and participation).

Further details of the research challenge are available here:

We welcome expressions of interest from talented post-docs who are interested in working with us and applying for a Marie Slowdowska-Curie Fellowship which support the mobility of researchers within and beyond Europe - as well as helping to attract the best foreign researchers to work in the EU. The grant usually covers two years' salary, a mobility allowance, research costs and overheads for the host institution. Individual researchers submit proposals for funding in liaison with their planned host organisation. Proposals are judged on their research quality, the researcher's future career prospects and the support offered by the host organisation. Fellows can also spend part of the fellowship elsewhere in Europe if this would boost impact, and those restarting their career in Europe benefit from special eligibility conditions.
