Humanities Spring 2009 I: From Learned Societies to Knowledge-Based Society - Call for Applications now open

For wide dissemination among early career researchers

Dear colleagues,

The European Science Foundation (ESF) is committed to creating Fora for early career scholars to develop their visions for the European Research Area.
We have developed in particular the format of the "Humanities Spring" workshops, aimed at producing short policy documents authored by the best early career scholars after 3-day debates on identified issues.
 
This year, one of the selected themes is:
 
Humanities Spring 2009 I: "From Learned Societies to Knowledge-Based Society: Towards a European Young Academy?"

Deadline for submission of applications: 15 January 2009

We are writing with a request to publish / circulate widely the attached Call for the ESF-sponsored event, which invites for a Europe-wide selection of young scholars of all disciplines.
 
Please do not hesitate to get back to me directly HumSpring1@esf.org with any questions you may have.
 
Best regards
Irma Vogel
