[Commlist] call for participants: ECREA Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2024

ECREA Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2024

We are happy to invite you to participate in the ECREA Summer School 
5-11 August at Roskilde University, Denmark.

The application deadline is 15 February, 2024.

The ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School brings 
together members of the European research community to explore 
contemporary issues within media and communication studies. The Summer 
School offers a supportive international setting for European doctoral 
students, where you can present and develop your ongoing PhD projects 
and build valuable networks. Our main aim is to provide you with 
support, knowledge, and guidance through a variety of activities, 
including individual feedback seminars with leading media and 
communication scholars.

General information

The Summer School is open to all PhD projects within the broad field of 
media and communication studies. We especially encourage doctoral 
students who are in the middle of their studies to apply, as it is our 
experience that participation in this phase is the most productive and 
useful for participants.

The Summer School runs over seven full working days and awards a 10-ECTS 
credit. Participants must be present throughout to receive the full 
credit. The working language is English; therefore, a sufficient 
understanding of and ability to express oneself in this language is 
expected.

The Summer School takes place at the Department of Communication and 
Arts at Roskilde University, Denmark, and the programme will include:

    Feedback sessions: you get detailed and constructive feedback on 
your PhD project.
    Methodological workshops: you get to hone existing competencies and 
discover new approaches.
    Talks and round tables: you get insights into current scholarly 
debates and tips on how to tackle life in academia.

In addition, the programme will include social activities and cultural 
excursions, as well as time to work, write, and explore on your own.
