European Media Management Association (emma) Summer School

The European Media Management Association (emma) Summer School is an annual event, aimed
at doctoral students providing a unique opportunity to learn from some of the best
educators in the field of Media Management and receive individual feedback on their
dissertation proposals and research. The 2010 School will be hosted by the School of
Communication at the University of Navarra, Pamplona, August 23-27.

Supported by emma, the cost of participation in this year’s school will be 150€ and
will include academic fees, lunches, a welcome dinner and a social event on Saturday.
Participants must cover their own evening meals and accommodation costs.

Lectures are designed to explore theories and approaches to researching issues and
topics in media management and to provide a better basis of understanding of managerial
and business concepts and perspectives. A considerable amount of time will though be
dedicated to students presenting their dissertation research for discussion and advice
from the faculty and other participants.

The list of faculty at the Summer School will include:

·      Alan Albarran, University of North Texas, USA

·      Juan Pablo Artero, University of Navarra, Spain

·      Mónica Herrero, University of Navarra, Spain.

·      Karen Arriaza Ibarra, Complutense University of Madrid, Spain

·      Mercedes Medina, University of Navarra, Spain

·      Alfonso Sánchez-Tabernero, University of Navarra, Spain.

·      Gabriele Siegert, University of Zurich, Switzerland

·      George Tsourvakas, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece

Candidates will be selected based on the quality of their research proposals.
Application forms and information on accommodation (at reduced rates, negotiated by the
University of Navarra) accompany this email.
Your application form for the summer school should be returned to Barbara Eklöf
(barbara.eklof AT ihh.hj.se) by 16 July.

In another break with past practice, emma is inviting applications from both members
and non-members and will be circulating this invitation through its international sister
organisations.

We look forward to welcoming tomorrow’s media management scholars to Pamplona.
