CfA: Summer School on Non-Discrimination, Social Inclusion and Europe

OHRID SUMMER UNIVERSITY 2008

Call for Applications:
"Summer School on Non-Discrimination, Social Inclusion and European
Citizenship"
23 June - 30 June, 2008, Ohrid, Macedonia
Deadline for application: 03 June 2008

The Institute for Social and Humanities Research "Euro-Balkan", Skopje within
the framework of the Ohrid Summer University 2008, supported by the OSCE
Spillover Monitor Mission to Skopje, is announcing SUMMER SCHOOL ON
NON-DISCRIMINATION, SOCIAL INCLUSION AND EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP, to be held 23 -
30 June 2008, Hotel Klimetica, Ohrid, Republic of Macedonia.

The Summer School on Non-Discrimination, Social Inclusion and European
Citizenship is aimed at current human rights activists, postgraduate students and members of socially and culturally marginalized groups committed to the idea of social inclusion and actively seeking to address problems related to implementation of human rights legislation, discrimination and social exclusion in the Macedonian society. In the form of a one-week intensive summer course, this School specifically seeks to provide 21 course participants with the latest theoretical, conceptual and practical tools in order to grasp the complexity of the human rights situation in Macedonia from the perspectives of the most socially vulnerable groups. The course will offer lectures from eminent Macedonian human rights activists, insightful discussions, workshops on specific topics, collaborative presentations based on group work and social and cultural activities.

Working languages of the course will be both Macedonian and English, as lectures will be in Macedonian and course materials will be in English.

Programme summary:
The School's overall goal is to contribute to building sustainable human rights culture in Macedonia, by providing an academically validated inspiration and new opportunities to current activists, postgraduate students and members of socially and culturally marginalized groups to explore the theory and practice of human rights in Macedonia, to design possible human rights research projects, and outline a possible evidence-based strategy. It specifically aims to strengthen the capacity of course attendants in the fields of Non-Discrimination, Social Inclusion and European Citizenship as the main result to be achieved through the foreseen activities. The course will attempt to offer a more intricate analysis of the issues of application and implementation of non-discrimination legislation in Macedonia by showing how existing social relations, political institutions and cultural practices must be transformed in order to accommodate those who have been prevented or
exclued from fully participating in Macedonian society (women, children, disabled people, Roma, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and older persons). Special attention will be given to understanding the social, economic, political and cultural context in which the social exclusion and subordination of these groups of people take place, especially where this marginalisation is exacerbated by extreme poverty and ethnic status and the means to combat these types of abject discrimination. The course will advocate for a social inclusion approach to fighting discrimination in Macedonia, since it is the only proactive, human development approach to social well-being that calls for more than the removal of legal and formal barriers or risks to participating as valued, respected and contributing members of Macedonian society.

The Summer School will broadly cover the three following topics: 1. Human Rights, Non-discrimination, or Social Inclusion?-Integrat ing Concepts and Perspectives of European Citizenship in the Balkans; 2. Social Exclusion, European Citizenship and Social Policy: Application and Scrutiny of Macedonian Research on Social Exclusion and Human Rights; 3. Culture, difference and human rights;

Eligibility: Postgraduate students, human rights activists, and members of socially and culturally marginalized groups from Macedonia committed to the idea of social inclusion and actively seeking to address problems related to implementation of human rights legislation, discrimination and social exclusion in the Macedonian society.

Application and selection process: Interested applicants will submit their biographical information (CV and letter of motivation) through the available
application form (www.euba.org. mk).

The applications of most suitable candidates, active in the field of human rights and non-discrimination, will be carefully and objectively assessed and selected by a Committee formed of Euro-Balkan staff, course lecturers and stream leaders, in collaboration with the OSCE Rule of Law Department.

Please fill the application form and return it before 3rd June 2008 to the e-mail: ohridsummeruniversi ty@gmail. com or online at: www.euba.org. mk Results from the selection process: 10th June 2008

PUBLICATION: International Economic, Social, Cultural Rights





*ISBN: 978-0-932863- 55-3* 280 pp. *

*SYNOPSIS*

In today's globalized world, all people are within "six steps"—six links of acquaintanceship— of every other person in the world. Yet a significant percentage of the world's population lives in abject socioeconomic misery, exploited, slaving in horrible working conditions, without enough food or education, and highly susceptible to illness and disease. How is it possible that this occurs to people who are only 'six steps' away from us? How can human misery continue despite the economic, technological and moral progress mankind has made? In particular, how can this misery continue despite the economic, social and cultural human rights that are recognized by many legal, international and national, documents? These rights, like the right to adequate housing, to food, to health(care) and to social security are
intended to alleviate human misery and, in so doing, contribute to a dignified life. Knowing that these rights exist might lead one to think: is not such widespread, socioeconomic human misery a violation of people's human rights, more especially of their economic, social and cultural rights? This book addresses the rights, the wrongs, the law, and what we need to do.

*ISBN: 978-0-932863- 55-3 $19.95*

*ABOUT THE AUTHOR *

Rob Buitenweg is Associate Professor of Human Rights at the Kosmopolis Institute, The Netherlands. VP of the International Humanist and Ethical Union, he is a member of the Board of Governors of the International Jurists Organization and Board member of the Dutch Humanist Committee of Human Rights. He was lecturer in the philosophy of law at the University for Humanistics in 1989. He has published widely in both English and Dutch.

Postdoctoral Position in Statistics, Institut Francais du Petrole

Postdoctoral Position
Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP), Solaize, France

Subject : Response Surfaces under constraints

Because physical models are not predictive enough in motor calibration design, to represent engine exhausts, one has to resort to response surfaces techniques. Experimental data are fitted by means of non linear regression, locally when the torque and the engine speed are both fixed, or globally when everything vary.

To check the results, engineers rely on their expertise. For example, locally, CO2 emissions should decrease when the main injection timing (AVI) and the fuel injection pressure (PRAIL) increase. Globally, constraints coming from physical limitations and considerations become more and more stringent.

However, traditional regression techniques do not guarantee that all the constraints will be satisfied. In the case of CO2, one should observe monotony constraints, i.e. the response should increase or decrease monotonically when AVI and PRAIL vary. Similarly, maximum or minimum values are not guaranteed to be respected, since the calculated response can oscillate between the fitting points.

From the end of 90's, some new methods have been proposed to alleviate these limitations. A bibliographical review shows that many different techniques have been proposed, based on available regression techniques. Smoothing splines have been used, as well as generalized additive models, krigging or wavelets. Some of these developments are available through internet.

The goal of this post-doctoral study is to propose strategies to tackle these problems, to test and use the new techniques that have to be developed, and to apply them to the case of responses surfaces in the field of motor calibration. Coding will be done in MATLAB. Expected difficulties concern the high dimension of the regressors space, as well as the calculation time which has to stay manageable.

Education and qualification:

PhD in applied mathematics or in statistics, solid background in experimental design and response surfaces methodology. Practice of a programming language like MATLAB, C or FORTRAN.

Location: Institut Français du Pétrole (IFP, www.ifp.fr) at Solaize, near Lyon
Duration: 12 to 18 month
Salary: ~2862Euro /month (+ 474Euro /month for lodging expenses for foreigners coming from foreign universities only)

Application: Interested candidates should send a CV, a motivation letter, a publication list and referee letters to:
