ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School, 14 août 11 au 27 août 2011, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
The ECREA European Media and Communication Doctoral Summer School 2011 brings together members of the European research community to this summer school in order to debate contemporary issues in media, communication and cultural studies.
The main emphasis of this summer school is 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.
