The European Journal of Communication Young ECREAN Conference Grant

European Journal of Communication (EJC) and ECREA invite Ph.D. candidates who are members of ECREA to apply for the EJC-funded grant supporting the PhD candidate´s attendance at the 8th European Communication Conference in Braga, 2-5 October 2020. The applicant must have a paper proposal accepted for ECC 2020. The grant will be awarded to the applicant with the best accepted paper proposal. The amount of the grant is 1500 EUR. It covers conference fee, travel and accommodation costs and daily allowance and it is meant to support excellent Ph.D. candidates with limited opportunities to participate in international academic events. The grant will be judged by Christina Holtz Bacha, Malgorzata Winiarska Brodowska  and Irena Reifová in collaboration with the editors of the EJC. The grant holder will be invited by the European Journal of Communication to develop the paper proposal into a full paper, which will be considered for publication in the European Journal of Communication (though with no guarantees of publication).
