The section management team, together with our two new YECREA Representatives Cristina Monzer (NTNU Trondheim) and Emilija Gagrčin (Weizenbaum Institute, FU Berlin) organized the kick-off meeting to the second round of the mentoring program for early career scholars in political communication research. In the next two years, 11 mentees from 7 countries (🇧🇪🇳🇱🇳🇴🇩🇪🇪🇸🇹🇬🇵🇱) will meet with mentors, in workshops, and at conferences like #ica22 #ecrea22. We will also organize a virtual workshop in the run-up of the 2022 ECREA conference in Aarhus that focuses specifically on PhD students and early career scholars. Stay tuned!
