ecpr graduate network - home

The ECPR has enlarged its programme of services and activities that are aimed specifically at graduate students, and these now include:

• A graduate network that is run in much the same way as the ECPR's standing groups. Its aim is to facilitate graduate academic and research activity and networking. It provides a framework for interaction and joint initiatives of junior researchers in social sciences with the following:
  • An online members' database which allows network members to contact and be contacted by colleagues with related research interests;
  • Dedicated web-pages;
  • An electronic newsletter regularly distributed to the network members;
• A Graduate Conference held every two years, that brings together 500 graduate students and senior political scientists in a high-standard academic event;
• The ECPR PhD Prize for the best dissertation submitted by a student at an ECPR member institution;
• A new ECPR book series, which includes the re-issue of classic works, research monographs and outstanding PhD theses.

This graduate network is a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences and it maintains an online database to facilitate the network (see network database for more information).

Future venues for General and Graduate Conferences.
