[ecrea] call for candidates for Urban Communication Research Grant 2016

From
http://iamcr.org/ucf-iamcr-research-grant/2016

Applications are now being received for the 2016 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.

Funded by the Urban Communication Foundation, 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.

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 5-person committee consisting of three IAMCR members and two Urban 
Communication Foundation representatives will judge the proposals. IAMCR 
representatives in the committee are Nico Carpentier (Chair), Aimée Vega 
and Cees Hamelink. 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 Leicester, UK July 27-31, 2016. 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.
