SIG 25: JURE 2020 SIG INVITED SYMPOSIUM + TRAVEL GRANT

Dear all,
We have received a request to submit an invited symposium to the next
JURE conference at the University of Porto, Portugal, 13th - 17th of
July 2020. We would like to receive proposals from the JURE members of
the SIG by February 20th. Senior researchers - please encourage your
PhD students to apply!

We are happy to announce that SIG 25 can support the group organizing
the symposium with a 1000 euro grant to cover travel and accommodation
expenses. The organizer can decide how to distribute the grant among
the participants (e.g. supporting those whose costs are not covered by
their institutions).

In this phase, we would need the title and a general abstract of the
symposium of 250-words. The abstract should provide information
regarding the aims of the symposium and its scientific and educational
relevance (possibly linked to the conference theme Generation change:
The Future of Education in a Diverse Society).

The proposals will be evaluated by the SIG coordinating team based on
the following criteria:
- Relevance to EARLI domain of Learning and Instruction
- Significance for theoretical debate
- Theoretical framework, conceptual rationale or pragmatic grounding
- Embeddedness in relevant literature
- Clarity and robustness of theoretical argument
- Overall quality and scientific originality

Please send proposals to: antti.rajala@helsinki.fi

Please note that a symposium consists of three to four papers and the
length of the symposium as a whole is 90 minutes. This is to ensure
that there is time for interaction and discussion. The invited
symposia will not be reviewed. The organizer who is selected to
organize the SIG 25 JURE invited symposium, needs to send the full
proposal, including 1000 words abstracts of all presentations and the
names and affiliations of all presenters, the chair and discussant by
March 11th 2020.

Best,
Antti, Nina, Alexandra and Giuseppe
