TO APPLY AND FEES

 

To apply

The Call for application is open. It is organised in 2 waves of application:

- from 20 August to 1 October 2018 : call for application 

- from 2 October to 20 October 2018 : late call for application (selection depending on availability)

To ensure your participation to the Winter School, we strongly advise you to apply as soon as possible.

 

The application and selection of PhD students and young scholars for the Winter School are based on their research project.

 

The applicant must submit a 3 to 5 pages long PDF document, in English, including :

 

1) a CV (one page)

2) a grant application (if applicable - see conditions below)

3) a short summary of the research project the applicant wants to discuss during the Winter School (2 pages long max). In case the applicant does not want to present a project, a short letter explaining the motivation to attend the courses and workshops must be submitted.

 

The summary of the research project must underscore:

 

- The research question: What issues does the project seek to highlight and why? These could be theoretical research questions or methodological questions. 
- In what context do these issues occur? The proposal should present the context in which these issues are found and justify why, taking into account this context, the issue is relevant.
- What is the scientific relevance of the research question? The document should present a brief state-of-the-art and identify specific expected contributions and the approaches and concepts mobilized.
- What will the research project contribute to existing studies? What kind of hypotheses does the project explore? Why are these original and how will they help highlight different aspects of the main research question?
- Which methods will be used? 

 

To note: You will be asked to send a more detailed presentation of the research project or article that you will present during the workshop (approx. 5 to 10 pages long), once selected, by December 20.

 

 

To apply:

1) Log in or create an IPPA account,

2) Click to "I want to apply to this Summer School" button (at the top of the page)

3) Follow the procedures outlined above (the application folder should be maximum 3 to 5 pages in one PDF). Please indicate the document title as follows: Surname_Project Research Title

4) Indicate the course you want to attend by order of your preference. Indicate an order of preference from 1 to 3 in front of each course. You can put 0 if you are really not interested in one course or an equal "1" if two courses interest you.
