International Summer School for Young Researchers –
Course for PhD Students
Call for applications
Date:
Second half of August 2005
Place:
Institute of Exercise and Sport Sciences, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
Aims and Concept:
The summer school is addressed to PhD students and young researchers and intends to support them in their scientific work. It offers them the opportunity of acquiring knowledge about the state of the art in the area of theories and methods, of presenting their research, of discussing problems, of obtaining advice from experts and of building up a network. It is hoped to help young researchers to become integrated into the scientific community. The involvement of internationally renowned experts will guarantee that knowledge and advice as well as the evaluation of students’ papers will contribute decisively to research of high quality and relevance.
Organisation:
In keynote lectures the experts will address important questions, new approaches and results, problems and strategies of research, current trends and main issues in the area of sport, education and socialisation. The students will have the opportunity of asking questions and discussing with the experts. In addition, all students will give a report of their own projects. Papers with the main outlines of these projects must be submitted before the summer school begins. There will be an in-depth discussion of each research project in working groups and in plenary sessions. In addition, the experts are available for individual supervision.

Lecturers from the Institute of Sport Sciences
Inge Kryger, Institute of Sociology, University of Copenhagen
Gerald Gems, North Central College, Naperville
