[Bilimsel Haber] Young Researchers Workshop

[Sule Tarakcioglu]

Call for Proposals for a Young Researchers Workshop


With 'Young Researchers Workshops (YRW)' the Standing Group of International
Relations (SGIR) of the ECPR offers a new opportunity for young scholars
(advanced doctoral students and recent post-docs) to familiarize 
themselves with
academic conferencing. The workshop scheme seeks to advance networking,
publication and academic discussion among young researchers. Towards 
that end,
the SGIR offers an award of up to 5.000 EURO to finance a workshop which 
either
precedes, accompanies or follows the Pan-European Conference on 
International
Relations at the University of Turin in 2007. With a view to enhancing equal
opportunities to academic collaboration, the scheme seeks to fund especially
those workshop proposals which involve at least 51% participants from 
new and
candidate EU member states. Preference will be given to those proposals 
which
target novices to the international academic conference business.

SGIR welcomes workshop proposals on a topic of relevance to current
International Relations research. Ideally, a workshop proposal will 
involve a
brief 500 word summary of the workshop topic, an outline indicating how the
5.000 EURO will be spent and a list of potential participants. The YRW 
committee
consisting of Bernhard Zangl, Antje Wiener, Stefano Guzzini, and Milica
Delevic-Djilas will accept full proposals until 31st May 2006.

Successful workshop convenors will be notified so that they can prepare 
a call
for papers with a deadline of 31 January 2007.

Please send workshop proposals to Antje Wiener and Bernhard Zangl at
yrw@sgir.org
