INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
NEW EUROPEAN RESEARCH ON CONTEMPORARY CHINA
2nd Edition
 

PLEASE HELP US CIRCULATE THIS CALL WIDELY!
Dates: July 2-4, 2014
Venue: Beijing (Delegation of the European Union to China)
Deadline for submission: 15 February 2014
Contact: Ms. Miriam Yang, cefc at cefc.com.hk
  

This conference aims to bring together doctoral candidates, post-doctoral
researchers and recent PhDs based in China, either European nationals or
affiliated with European research institutions, in order to produce an
overview of the emerging problematics in Chinese studies. The focus of the
conference is on contemporary China, in a multi-disciplinary social
science perspective.

Along with the growing exchanges between China and Europe, the number of
European doctoral candidates and recent PhDs in humanities and social
sciences doing research in and studying China has increased; many young
Chinese scholars also choose to bring their expertise on contemporary
China to European academic institutions. They all represent the future of
European research on contemporary China. The main purpose of this
Conference held for the second time in Beijing is to provide a forum for
these young researchers at the European level and in China. The success of
the first edition held in 2012 which gathered 50 young researchers from 15
countries (selected among 130 applicants) confirmed the necessity to
provide such a forum for reflection and discussion. The Conference will be
an occasion to facilitate exchanges on common research subjects, compare
perspectives and methodologies, and promote interdisciplinary dialogue. By
providing a space for debate and reflection, the Conference intends to
contribute to the emergence of more diverse theoretical approaches on the
subject. It will enable the participants not only to expand their network
and broaden their horizon, but also to take part in the construction of
European research networks and promote China-Europe dialogue.
