ECREA’s Political Communication Section has started the second round of its mentoring program for young scholars in political communication research. The program aims to promote young scholars in the field and increase the integration of young and senior scholars in the Political Communication Section. The section management team plans to start a new round every two years. After the success of the first round with 12 young scholars from 7 countries and 12 mentors from 8 countries (2018-20), the second round starts in winter 2021.
In addition and supported by the YECREA representatives, the section organises a workshop for early careers scholars in the field of political communication in the run-up to the 2022 ECREA conference in Aarhus. More information can be found in the call.
