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.
Experts:
Lecturers from the Institute of Sport Sciences
Inge Kryger, Institute of Sociology, University of Copenhagen Gerald Gems, North Central College, Naperville Gudrun Doll-Tepper, Free University Berlin Eric Dunning, Centre for Research into Sport & Society Asked: Gabriele Klein, J.A. Mangan, Patricia Vertinsky. Selection of the students:

Societies for Sport History, Sport Sociology and Women’s Sport.
Participants will be selected according to the following criteria:

The number of participants will be between 20 and 25; it is aimed to
include students from as many countries as possible.
