The Plan for the conference
Towards a New Contract
Between Universities and Society?
A historical
sociological perspective on the Lisbon Strategy and EU policies
of higher education and research
Bergen - May 18-19, 2006
The conference will
be organised as a workshop under the overall chairmanship
of Professor Olav
Korsnes, Department of Sociology at the University of
Bergen. Two specific working groups or sessions (see more
details under Conference Invitation
and Call for Papers) will be organized on the basis of
the topics and numbers of papers submitted. The invited speakers
of the sessions will also link the group work and their talks
to the topics of the main speaker at
the conference, Professor dr. habil Hannes Siegrist.
The conference is scheduled for a total of
50 participants including 10 participants enrolled within
a PhD programme.
All participants are urged to present a paper
at the conference. However, please note that paper presentation
is not required for participation. Also shorter forms of presentations
are welcomed, for example presentation of ongoing research,
research ideas, relevant networks, etc.
All participants who wish to attend the conference
with a paper must submit an abstract. The abstract should
not exceed 500 words.
Submit
abstract online. The deadline for submitting an abstract
is April 1st 2006.
Please indicate if you are
a PhD student and wish to have your paper evaluated. PhD students
may have conference attendance accepted as part of their doctoral
training programme, provided they present a paper. A final
version of the paper will be evaluated after the conference,
being eligible for 10 ECTS study points if approved by the
organizing committee.
A detailed program will be posted on the website
in a couple of weeks. The deadline for submitting final papers
will also be updated on the web-site with other kinds of practical
information etc.
It is our intention that a selection of the
best papers of the conference will be published in a book.
