The Summer School Matchmaking Event aims at bringing together PhD students from China and Europe to foster international cooperation, identifying common research questions and broadening the perspectives by becoming aware of cultural differences and similarities. Several internationally renowned experts in TEL will introduce participants into the current state-of-the-art and help them to gain an understanding of the challenges of TEL from multi-cultural perspectives. The participants will perform matchmaking with their Chinese/European counterparts and jointly work and discuss on their topics.
There is still one place left for a PhD student from Europe. We will cover for accommodation and food in Shanghai, but cannot support travel. There is also the possibility to attend the "International Summer School of Doctoral Candidates in the Major of Educational Technology 2011" at Beijing Normal University.
The events will take place soon, so send me your application as soon as possible. An informal email stating why
you would be a good candidate is sufficient. Send it to ullrich.c+sjtuevent* a t *gmail.com.
