Dear ECREA members,

we are pleased to announce the opening of a call for host institution for the 2021 and 2022 edition of the European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School.

ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School is established to support integration of PhD students within Europe and beyond into an academic culture in constructive and supportive manner, respectful towards disciplinary differences, inclusive across different aspects of media and communication fields and methodologies. They are intended to facilitate network-building that will last across academic career paths and to promote inclusive intellectual and organisational culture that ECREA stands for.


      General conditions

  * The host institution must be a university, HE institution or other
    suitable organisation working in the field of communication research
    and education and have sufficient experience in organising academic
    events and sufficient capacity (staff and support) to prepare and
    run the event.
  * The host institution must be ECREA institutional member.
  * The Summer School must have broadly speaking a European location,
    though potential host institutions are by no means limited to those
from EU-member states. The location should be affordable and accessible.

The host institution will be selected to organise the 2021 and 2022 editions of the Summer School with an option to extend the collaboration for an additional year.
