[ecrea] Marie Slowdowska-Curie Individual Fellowships 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.
