Full Call for Papers and guidelines for application and participation

GENERAL INFORMATION

The objective of this research workshop is twofold.

  • First, we aim at fostering interdisciplinary academic discussions between DPDS students, members of the DemocracyNet.eu network, and other junior researchers interested in the study of citizenship and democracy. Each participant to the workshop will have the opportunity to present a research project or a working paper, and receive feedback from other junior or senior scholars on their current research.
  • Second, we aim at fostering collaboration and teamwork among junior researchers by exchanging ideas, strengthen a network of researchers in the field, and sharing knowledge to initiate new research and knowledge transfer projects.

The research workshop is part of the Doctoral Program Democracy Studies (DPDS), and is open for DPDS members, members of the Swiss PhD network DS and other interested PhDs and Postdocs. Doctoral students will be awarded 1 ECTS for successful participation, and 2 ECTS for participation and presentation.
