"Interaktive Kulturen"
Doctoral Consortium
In the course of the conference “Interaktive Kulturen” a doctoral consortium for all tracks will be offered. It opens a platform for presentation of ongoing and recently completed dissertation projects, for getting comments from experts of all participating disciplines, and for discussion. Thus the individual dissertation projects can be facilitated and an opportunity for exchange between doctoral candidates is offered. Future Ph.D. students can get encouragement, ideas, and orientation for their own projects.
Organisers and responsible for the selection process of the doctoral consortium are
- Prof. Dr. Thomas Herrmann (Ruhr-Universität Bochum)
- Prof. Dr. H. Ulrich Hoppe (Universität Duisburg-Essen)
- Prof. Dr. Nicole Krämer (Universität Duisburg-Essen)
- Prof. Dr. Michael Koch (Universität der Bundeswehr München)

Interested persons apply until 28 June 2010 with a brief abstract of their dissertation project (motivation, research questions, solution, (interim) results) with a length of maximal four pages.
