[Dutch-chapter] final call for applications - "Games for Cities" doctoral consortium

[Gabriele Ferri]

Is your Ph.D. research at the crossroads between game design, city-making
practices, bottom-up participation, and civic media? Join us at the “Games
for Cities” Doctoral Consortium, 20 April 2017, at the Het Nieuwe
Instituut, Rotterdam. APPLICATION DEADLINE: 31 March 2017

***********

The half-day “Games for Cities” Doctoral Consortium provides an opportunity
for Ph.D. students to explore and develop their interdisciplinary research
interests at the crossroads between game design, city-making practices,
bottom-up participation, and civic media. It takes place immediately before
the Games for Cities International Conference, on 20 April 2017, at the Het
Nieuwe Instituut, Rotterdam.

The Doctoral Consortium is an opportunity to present your work-in-progress
research to fellow students, as well as senior researchers in the field. It
is a friendly, workshop-like setting where we aim to connect you with
people who might inspire your research and provide constructive feedback.

Candidates for the Doctoral Consortium are Ph.D. students or early-career
researchers who have already decided a topic and methodology for their
current research, and have made some progress, but who are not so far along
that they can no longer make changes. In sum, the Doctoral Consortium is an
occasion to present your in-progress work, receive friendly feedback, and
be inspired by your peers from all over Europe.

To take part to the Doctoral Consortium candidates should:
- Be currently enrolled in a Ph.D. program, or have recently graduated,
- Submit before March 31:
1. a short “position paper” (PDF, 6000-characters, references excluded)
that explains synthetically how your current research is related to the
themes of playfulness and cities,
2. a brief CV (PDF, maximum 2 pages and 2 Mb, select only the most relevant
information)

Accepted participants will attend the Doctoral Consortium, giving a
20-minutes presentation of their current research and providing friendly
feedback to their peers. They will also receive an invitation letter to
attend the Games for Cities conference, as well as a “student discount”
ticket (25 EUR for the whole conference).

Please submit applications to info at gamesforcities.com.
