The ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School is an 
opportunity for European doctoral students to present and develop their 
ongoing PhD projects and build valuable networks. It brings together 
members of the European research community to explore contemporary 
issues within media and communication studies within a supportive social 
setting. Our main aim is to provide you with support, insights, 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 10 ECTS 
credits. The working language is English; therefore, a sufficient 
understanding of and ability to express oneself in this language is 
expected.
