[ecrea] 2017 Urban Communication Research Grant

Mon Jan 09 19:59:17 GMT 2017



Applications are now being received for the 2017 IAMCR /Urban Communication Research Grant/. The grant is worth €1,500 and supports communication and media research that advances understanding of the growing complexity of the urban environment.

Hosted by the International Association for Media and Communication Research and funded by the Urban Communication Foundation <http://urbancomm.org>, this grant supports communication and media research that advances our understanding of the growing complexity of the urban environment. It is predicated on the assumption that communication scholars have a valuable contribution to make to an understanding of the urban landscape. The grant is open to all IAMCR members in good standing.

Complete information at: http://iamcr.org/ucf-iamcr-research-grant/2017

The €1500 grant is designed to support research already in progress or in the beginning stages. It gives priority to projects that feature innovative, inter-disciplinary, applied, and creative approaches to studying the central role of communication in the transformation of urban cultures and communities.

A 6-person committee consisting of four IAMCR members and two Urban Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Aimée Vega, Janet Wasko and Olesya Venger. Urban Communication Foundation representatives are Gary Gumpert and Susan Drucker.

The grant is awarded each year at the annual IAMCR Conference, this year scheduled for Catagena, Colombia on July 16-20, 2017. Grant winners are expected to attend the conference and present a paper related to urban communication. They must also report to IAMCR and the UCF on the progress of their research at the following year's conference, and submit a paper for this conference.


    Application Procedure

Submit the application electronically to UrbanCommunication2017 [at] iamcr.org.
