[Air-l] Fwd: ETHICOMP Doctoral Consortium 2007

[Jeremy Hunsinger]

>
> In the 12 years that ETHICOMP has been in existence it has grown a  
> vibrant international academic community concerned with the ethical  
> and social dimensions of information and communication  
> technologies. One of the most important aspects of this growth has  
> been the number of doctoral students studying in this area. It is  
> from this part of our community that our academic leaders of the  
> future will emerge. To support their development a new initiative,  
> ETHICOMP Doctoral Consortium is to be launched 13-14 September 2007  
> at the Centre for Computing and Social Responsibility, De Montfort  
> University, Leicester, UK.
> Consortium Directors
> Dr Penny Duquenoy, UK, Assoc Prof Nancy Pouloudi, Greece and Dr  
> Bernd Stahl, UK
>
> Outline
> The consortium will comprise a series of master classes in which  
> doctoral students will engage with experienced supervisors in the  
> field to help them hone their research ideas and review their  
> research strategies. Keynote addresses on relevant topics will  
> complete the programme.
> The cost of attendance will be confirmed but will be kept to a  
> minimum. There is a limited number of places (probably 20-25) due  
> to the interactive nature of the consortium. Students at any stage  
> of their studies can apply. Places will be awarded on the basis of  
> submitted proposals. Submission procedure
