CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS
ECREA MEDIA AND COMMUNICATION DOCTORAL Summer School 2019

We are happy to invite you to participate in the ECREA European Media 
and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2019 that will take place at 
the University of Tartu, Tartu, Estonia, from 8.-17. July, 2019 (10 days).

THE FOCUS

The ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2019 
brings together members of the European research community in order to 
debate contemporary issues in media, communication and cultural studies. 
The main emphasis of this summer school is not on a particular theme, 
but on providing structural and individuated PhD-support for young 
European scholars, through a variety of working forms, including 
feedback seminars, workshops, and lectures. The summer school aims to 
provide a supportive international setting where doctoral students can 
present their ongoing work, receive feedback on their PhD-projects from 
international experts and meet students and academics from other 
countries, establishing valuable contacts for the future.

WHO CAN APPLY

The summer school is open to the full variety of academic work in the 
broad field of communication and media studies. All PhD projects within 
the field of communication and media studies are welcomed.

The working language of the summer school will be English; therefore a 
sufficient understanding and ability to express oneself in this language 
is expected.

The total number of students will be limited to 45.

Registration fee at the summer school will be:

    840 Euros (700€ + VAT) for the ECREA members and
    990 Euros (825€ + VAT) for the non-members of ECREA.

procedure in order to apply for these grants.

APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Stage One

Application platform will be available through ECREA website and will 
open on 15 February 2019. This application form will include:
1. a short bio (300 words) according to the provided forms
2. a 400 word abstract of the PhD project
The deadline for submitting the application is March 15, 2019. 
Notification of acceptance will be sent during the last week of March 2019.

Stage Two
Students whose abstracts are accepted will be expected to provide the 
following documents and information in the second phase:

    A 10-page (3000 words) paper on their PhD project as a whole. The 
10 page paper should be a report of the student’s ongoing doctoral 
research and not a conventional conference paper or a report of 
findings. Rather, it is expected that the student will briefly present 
the focus of the research and then take up aspects of the research 
process: methodological, theoretical and practical issues on which 
he/she would like to receive feedback. (Deadline: June 15)
    A set of questions (maximum 1 page) with questions or problems that 
students would like to be discussed during the workshops. This one page 
needs to be part of the same Word/PDF file that also contains the 
10-page paper. (Deadline: June 15)
    Based on the abstracts and titles of other student papers, everyone 
is expected to choose up to 3 papers they would be interested in being a 
respondent. This preference will be taken into consideration while 
setting up student working groups. (Deadline June 20)
    By the start of the Summer School, each student has to prepare a 
10-minute seminar presentation covering the main points of their work. 
Each student is also expected to actively participate in the discussions 
of their own and other people’s work. In order to ensure maximum 
benefits of the seminars, everyone will have to read other participants 
papers before the Summer School begins.


DEADLINE
The deadline for applications for the summer school is 15 March 2019.
