Please contact Maria Toft at (Toftmaria [at] gmail . com) if you have any questions concerning the Summer Symposium.
The Summer Symposium is part of a larger summer session within the Nordic Summer University. Our symposia will build on the Gothenburg Manifesto (from the Spring Symposium) and the movement that will be created from there. We aim to invite scholars and presenters from alternative academic institutions that can inspire us to organize universities in new ways. We also welcome presentations about historical examples of academic institutions or presentations concerning specific parts of the academic system (e.g., management, publishing, science communication, or research assessments/metrics).
We will also prepare workshops that are more focused on tangible actions and activities now and in the future.
Deadline: The deadline for registration and/or submission of the title and a brief abstract (5-10 lines) is May 30th, 2024.
Registration: Please register here.
Please be advised that one session-time is 45 minutes. The length of the talks/presentations is adjustable, depending on the number of participants and density of the program.
