Parallel sessions
RMeS members are kindly ask to propose themes or topics for a group session (max 5 participants). You may want to propose a theme for a full session, including presenters and panel members (e.g. media and memory) or, alternatively, you can propose a paper topic. We will then organize panels on the basis of incoming topics.
Please submit proposals/abstracts for complete panels before November 1, 2013; the deadline for submitting individual presentations has been extended to November 15, 2013. Abstracts for individual presentations are max 300 words, including a clear research question or thesis statement. Proposals for sessions consist of a short description of the session’s theme (300 words max), names of 4-5 participants, with each participant stating a title and 50-word description of his/her contribution.
Workshop on ‘Valorisation’
A workshop session on ‘Valorisation and funding strategies; alliances between academic and non-academic partners’ will be hosted by prof. dr. Anneke Smelik and prof. dr. José van Dijck. The workshop pays attention to the issue of valorisation in the context of funding applications (NWO Creative Industries and NWO Vernieuwingsimpuls). Valorisation is increasingly important when applying for research grants, whether in The Netherlands or abroad (ERC, national funding schemes). This workshop helps you articulate the value of your research outside the boundaries of academia and discusses (dis)advantages of working with external social and industrial partners.
Preparation
- Please submit proposals/abstracts for complete panels before November 1, 2013; individual presentations before or on November 15, 2013. Abstracts for individual presentations are max 300 words, including a clear research question or thesis statement.

Individual papers and position papers are due by January 13, 2014, via the dropbox.
