[ecrea] call for participants - "Games for Cities" doctoral consortium

"Games for Cities" doctoral consortium, Rotterdam 20 April


The half-day “Games for Cities” Doctoral Consortium provides an 
opportunity for Ph.D. students to explore and develop their 
interdisciplinary research interests at the crossroads between game 
design, city-making practices, bottom-up participation, and civic media. 
It takes place immediately before the Games for Cities International 
Conference, on 20 April 2017, at the Het Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam.

The Doctoral Consortium is an opportunity to present your 
work-in-progress research to fellow students, as well as senior 
researchers in the field. It is a friendly, workshop-like setting where 
we aim to connect you with people who might inspire your research and 
provide constructive feedback.

Candidates for the Doctoral Consortium are Ph.D. students (or 
early-career researchers) who have already decided a topic and 
methodology for their current research, and have made some progress, but 
who are not so far along that they can no longer make changes. In sum, 
the Doctoral Consortium is an occasion to present your in-progress work, 
receive friendly feedback, and be inspired by your peers from all over 
Europe.

To take part to the Doctoral Consortium candidates should:
-Be currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program,
-Submit before March 31:
1.a short “position paper” (PDF, 6000-characters, references excluded) 
that explains synthetically how your current research is related to the 
themes of playfulness and cities,
2.a brief CV (PDF, maximum 2 pages and 2 Mb, select only the most 
relevant information)

Accepted participants will attend the Doctoral Consortium, giving a 
20-minutes presentation of their current research and providing friendly 
feedback to their peers. They will also receive an invitation letter to 
attend the Games for Cities conference, as well as a special discount on 
the admission ticket.

Please submit applications to (info /at/ gamesforcities.com) 
<mailto:(info /at/ gamesforcities.com)>.
