Overview
The Regional Research Promotion Programme funded by Swiss Development and Cooperation in the Western Balkans (RRPP) aims at establishing and strengthening research capacities in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The programme has an implementation perspective of 10 years and will support the development of research capacities in the area of social sciences, especially in topics relevant to transformation. It should offer a cooperation platform to researchers in the region, particularly those that are to become the driving force of higher education reforms and that can effectively promote a stronger recognition of the social sciences and above all the significance of research in this area.
Topic "Social, Political and Economic Change in the Western Balkans"
Interested young researchers and scientists (MA and PhD candidates) are invited to apply to participate at the RRPP Annual Conference that will take place in Albania from 25 to 26 June 2010 (the exact dates to be confirmed).
The main objectives of the conference are:
- to provide opportunities for researchers dealing with the region to meet, network, exchange and discuss their research projects, results and ideas;
- to discuss the challenges, contradictions and ambivalences of the transformation process social sciences are confronted with in the Balkans.
Eligible candidates:
- MA and PhD students dealing with the Western Balkans, eager to present and discuss their research work with colleagues from the region and beyond (especially current PhD projects and/or research results) that relate to the topic "Social, Political and Economic Change in the Western Balkans";
- papers to be presented can deal with the region in general, or with the change-processes in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Macedonia, Montenegro, and Serbia in particular;
- for more information about the RRPP's current research projects, please consult the RRPP Website, section Current Projects.
The selected candidates will be able to present and discuss their work in one of the methodological or thematic workshops, where researchers involved in RRPP research projects will also present their studies, methodology-related issues and results.
All interested candidates should submit a short Curriculum Vitae (1 page), an outline of the proposed conference paper (300-500 words) and a short letter of motivation by 15 April 2010 at the latest to office@rrpp-westernbalkans.net. The selection process will be completed by 10 May 2010.
For those accepted, the RRPP Management will cover travel and accommodation expenses, and/or provide opportunities for co-financing if the costs in individual cases exceed the average expenses per participant coming to the conference.
The selected participants will be informed about the programme and specific workshops of the conference, as well as the technical details in due time.
The organisers reserve the right to limit the number of applicants accepted to participate at the conference.
