INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL IN BALTIC SEA REGION STUDIES
MARE EUROPAEUM INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL
IN BALTIC SEA REGION STUDIES JULY 23 - AUGUST 6, 2006 COPENHAGEN (DENMARK) - TURKU (FINLAND) - BERLIN (GERMANY) Europe is surrounded by many seas, but there is only one sea entirely surrounded by Europe - the Baltic Sea. Students worldwide who wish to learn more about the history, politics, economy and culture of this MARE EUROPAEUM ("Europe's Sea") are invited to participate in an international summer school in Baltic Sea Region Studies hosted by the universities of Copenhagen (Denmark), Turku (Finland), and Berlin (Germany) during two weeks in
July and August 2006.
The Baltic Sea Region: Europe in a Nutshell
The Baltic Sea constitutes a distinctive region in the north-eastern corner of Europe stretching from Germany and Poland at its southern rim to the Nordic countries of Denmark, Sweden and Finland in the north-west, and Russia plus the Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania in the east.
Being a transnational region, the Baltic Sea provides a representative cross-section of today's Europe. It connects 'old' with 'new' Europeans inside the European Union, and both with Russia outside the EU but firmly integrated in the Baltic Sea co-operation. It links Europe's wealthiest societies with some of the continent's poorest regions, and it combines some of the most matured democracies in Europe with some of the youngest. Studying the Baltic Sea region thus means
getting acquainted with Europe in a nutshell.
Furthermore, the Baltic Sea Region is a European model area in several respects. It can be studied as a successful example of regional co-operation at both governmental and non-governmental levels, fostering peaceful transformation towards democracy and market economy. It has also become one of Europe's most dynamic areas of trade and economic growth and, last but not least, the Baltic Sea Region can boast to have the highest density of higher education and scientific
institutions in the world.
Teaching Programme
The MARE EUROPAEUM summer school offers a comprehensive introduction to the politics, history, economy, and culture of the Baltic Sea Region. Each day of the summer school will be dedicated to a particular subject area of regional co-operation taught by renowned experts in their respective fields. A preliminary teaching programme is already available.
Eligibility
Participation in the MARE EUROPAEUM summer school is open to graduate and postgraduate students worldwide, except for citizens of European Union member states and EU candidate countries (i.e. Bulgaria, Romania, Turkey, Croatia). The summer school is addressed to students holding a university degree in the humanities / political and social sciences, history, law, business administration and economics as well as Scandinavian, Nordic or Baltic studies. Previous knowledge of the Baltic Sea region is welcomed but not required. An outstanding study record on the other hand is as crucial as excellent proficiency in English.
Financial Aid
The MARE EUROPAEUM summer school is free of charge. A limited number of scholarships is available for selected applicants who will receive full compensation for their travel expenses as well as for accommodation and health insurance costs during their stay in Europe.
Application Procedure
The participants of the MARE EUROPAEUM summer school will be selected through a competition on the basis of written applications. You find all details in the Application Manual. Application letters must be sent to us by post before February 13, 2006 (last date of receipt). Applicants chosen for participation will be informed by April 1, 2006.
Organisers
The MARE EUROPAEUM summer school is organised by the BalticStudyNet - Network for Promoting and Developing Higher Education in the Baltic Sea Region, which is a joint project of the Baltic Sea School at Berlin Humboldt University in Germany, the Centre for Baltic Studies at Copenhagen University in Denmark, and the Baltic Sea Region Studies programme at the University of Turku in Finland.

Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance
The Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance is a two-week seminar. Its overall aim is to foster leadership qualities in young professionals by opening a cross-border dialogue on current political, economic, social and juridicial questions. Participants will be inspired by – and will learn from – high-profile speakers who are eminent public figures in politics, business, academia and the NGO sphere.
The Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance harks back to Henry Kissinger's renowned International Summer Seminar at Harvard University. In the 1960s, Kissinger brought together young leaders from all over the world for a summer course of debates and lectures. Many of the seminar’s alumni and alumnae rose to important national or international positions.
The next Bucerius Summer Scholl on Global Governance will take place from August 13 to August 27, 2006 in Hamburg, Berlin and Paderborn.
Participants of the Bucerius Summer School on Global Governance will be particularly successful young managers, politicians, journalists, academics and NGO representatives between the age of 28 and 35 who have already acquired some professional experience and show particular promise in their respective fields of endeavor. Excellent knowledge of the English language is expected.
Applicants must be nominated by a contact person authorized by the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius. This is a highly selective program; if you have been nominated, it means that you can apply, but it does not mean that you will necessarily be accepted. In mid-March, a Selection Committee headed by Dr. Theo Sommer, Editor-at-Large, DIE ZEIT, and Dean of the Bucerius Summer School will invite about approximately 55 applicants for next year’s Bucerius Summer School.
Names and addresses of the ZEIT-Stiftung\'s contact persons will not be communicated to potential applicants since this would counteract the nomination process. However, contact persons are: Professors (Law, Political Science, Humanities), CEOs of transnational companies, NGOs, Heads and Ministers of State as well as Members of Parliament virtually all over the world (more than 1,000 contact persons). Alumni of the Bucerius Summer School 2001 to 2005 may also nominate candidates.
If you have been nominated by a contact person of the ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius please complete the online application form. In addition, please send in the following application material:

Summer School "Good Governance in Times of Globalization vs.Borderline Clashes in the 21st Century"
Summer School "Good Governance in Times of Globalization vs. Borderline Clashes in the 21st Century" June 5 - June 20, 2006 The EUROPEAN BUSINESS SCHOOL (ebs) is offering a summer school entitled "Good Governance in Times of Globalization vs. Borderline Clashes in the 21st Century" from June 5 to June 20, 2006.
The course takes place on the beautiful campus of the ebs in Oestrich-Winkel, located close to Frankfurt in the valley of the Rhine River. In the two-week program, directed by Professor Dr. Joachim Ahrens, we focus on topics such as:
Good Governance and Economic Development
Hegemonic USA and the Islamic Countries: Clash of Civilizations?
Post-Colonialism and the Role of the UN: The Case of Cyprus
While the majority of classes are held on campus, an optional four-day excursion to Cyprus will complement theoretical discussions by providing insights into real-world politics.
The course is designed for graduate and post-graduate students of political science, economics, business studies, sociology, and regional studies.
Aims of the Summer School Governance is a much-used buzzword that eludes clear-cut definitions. Our summer school aims at narrowing down the multitude of abstract definitions of governance into a tangible reality.
We focus on questions of political governance in times of globalization, which are also times of emerging, increasing, and escalating conflicts on local, regional, national, and international levels.
Conflicts will be analyzed as borderline clashes with a main focus on latent and manifest tensions in the Meditteranean area. Special attention will be paid on Turkey with its exceptional geographical position: belonging to Europe as well as Asia, the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Caucasus. Especially for the European governance context, the political recognition of Cyprus by Turkey plays a major role.
By inviting students from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, we expect exciting and controversial discussions to broaden our view on governance issues.
Certificate and Credits Students who are taking the final exam will receive a graded certificate. For this summer school, a maximum of 4 ECTS credits (including Cyprus-trip) is available.
Attendance at all lectures AND the Cyprus-trip is required to obtain 4 ECTS credits. Students who take the final exam, but do not wish to participate in the study trip, can earn 3 ECTS credits.

By inviting students from diverse disciplinary and cultural backgrounds, we expect exciting and controversial discussions to broaden our view on governance issues.
Certificate and Credits Students who are taking the final exam will receive a graded certificate. For this summer school, a maximum of 4 ECTS credits (including Cyprus-trip) is available.
Attendance at all lectures AND the Cyprus-trip is required to obtain 4 ECTS credits. Students who take the final exam, but do not wish to participate in the study trip, can earn 3 ECTS credits.

The course takes place on the beautiful campus of the ebs in Oestrich-Winkel, located close to Frankfurt in the valley of the Rhine River. In the two-week program, directed by Professor Dr. Joachim Ahrens, we focus on topics such as:
Good Governance and Economic Development
Hegemonic USA and the Islamic Countries: Clash of Civilizations?
Post-Colonialism and the Role of the UN: The Case of Cyprus
While the majority of classes are held on campus, an optional four-day excursion to Cyprus will complement theoretical discussions by providing insights into real-world politics.
The course is designed for graduate and post-graduate students of political science, economics, business studies, sociology, and regional studies.
Aims of the Summer School Governance is a much-used buzzword that eludes clear-cut definitions. Our summer school aims at narrowing down the multitude of abstract definitions of governance into a tangible reality.
We focus on questions of political governance in times of globalization, which are also times of emerging, increasing, and escalating conflicts on local, regional, national, and international levels.
Conflicts will be analyzed as borderline clashes with a main focus on latent and manifest tensions in the Meditteranean area. Special attention will be paid on Turkey with its exceptional geographical position: belonging to Europe as well as Asia, the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Caucasus. Especially for the European governance context, the political recognition of Cyprus by Turkey plays a major role.

CfA: Partner inquiry, AIDS organizatons, Bulgaria, Moldova, Turkey
Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation is looking to explore possibilities of cooperation with AIDS organizations in Bulgaria, Moldova and Turkey, as partner in an transnational project proposed to be financed under MINERVA Action of SOCRATES Programmes, Directorate Generale Education and Training, European Commission.
Interested participants are kindly asked to write and present their organization, contacting Ms. Luminitia Ratiu by email, at: luminita.ratiu@raa.ro.
The project aims to explore the possibilities of using Open and Distance Learning (ODL) in providing Continuing Medical Education for HIV/AIDS healthcare in Eastern European region (project partners from Bulgaria, Turcia and Moldova). The project use the best practice that Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation (RAA) has developed, starting from a pioneering pilot runned with support and cooperation from UNAIDS
Romania, Global Fund to Fight AIDS and other major funders of RAA: the www.HIVability.ro internet E-learning platform, that has become in less than two years a model of success with accreditted courses and more than 40,000 active learners.
Our best practice has been nominated at several international and national awards and has been winner of significant international and national recognitions, as of Winner of Romanian National E-Content Award and Nominated Finalist for Word Summit of the Information Society Award (WSIS).
The proposed project will support the exchange of ideas and experience of the use of existing HIVability technology as a model platform for partner institutions in Bulgaria, Turcia and Moldova. Policy makers, academics, civil society leaders, government officials, civil servants, business and community leaders, and other decision-making persons or experts involved in combating HIV/AIDS epidemic will be
networked toghether with a view to exchange RAA experience on using HIVability Elearning platfom for CME.
Our project objective is to encourage the establishment of links between these targeted groups in order to enhance ODL in continuing medical education on HIV/AIDS. The intended results are a series of information sessions and workshops, working meetings with various stakeholders, and a final regional conference. The outputs include a HIVability Project dissemination guide on CD-rom, a pilot version of
HIVability tested for Bulgaria, Modova and Turcia, as well as a comparative study on the use of ICT in healthcare education.
The structural development impact of the project is envisaged in changing relationships emerged at the health management level toward the promotion of ITCs use for health training development. The social development impact of the project is envisaged in increasing access to information on HIV/AIDS for healthcare workers, especially general and family practitioners, and through them, in increasing access to information for the general public and enhancing their medical care needs, making HIV/AIDS related counseling and information a part of the basic healthcare services in Romania, with a view to limit the spread of HIV/AIDS nation-wide.
Project justification stands upon the low but increasing AIDS incidence in east-European countries. One of the greatest barriers to optimal care of HIV infected patients in developing countries is the lack of sufficient education among medicine specialists. In a study conducted by Romanian Angel Appeal in 2002, in Romania, while
organizing a HIV prevention course in medical practice, from a total number of 1326 nurses, a number of 828 (70%) have never attended any course on HIV prevention in medical practice. Similarly, from 1190 medical college students, 846 (64.4o%) reporting that they never attended any course of HIV prevention prior to that date.
Romanian Angel Appeal Foundation is one of the largest non-governmental organization in Romania implementor of Global Funds to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria activities in Romania. RAA was established in 1990 in London and Los Angeles, and registered in Romania in 1991. Through its projects, RAA focuses on improving the medical, social and psychological services offered to people in need,
especially children and young people affected by HIV/AIDS, by providing direct services, developing education programmes for specialists active in the field (physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers), and implementing education and prevention campaigns. RAA is a member of ICASO, EUROCASO and several networks active in various fields of healthcare addressing seropositive youth. RAA offers tehnical support for UNDP Romania to review the National AIDS Strategy. RAA is a member of the National Commission for Supervision, Control and Prevention of HIV/AIDS Cases, which was established through the decree no. 119 / 09.05.2003 of the Prime Minister.

CfA: Junio Scholars' Training Seminar, Woodrow Wilson Centre
Deadline: April 14, 2006
The Staff of the East European Studies (EES) program at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars would like to ask for your help in recruiting applicants for the 20th Annual Junior Scholars Training Seminar (JSTS). As you may know, this conference brings graduate students and postgraduate students together with leading scholars in the field to discuss their research and the state of the field. The Junior Scholars' Training Seminar is supported by the Program for Research and Training on Eastern Europe and the Independent States of the Former Soviet Union (Title VIII) of the United States Department of State. This seminar,
cosponsored by EES and the Committee on East European Studies of the American
Council of Learned Societies (ACLS), is held annually in August at the Aspen
Institute’s Wye Conference Center in southern Maryland. It is the only inter-disciplinary, national meeting devoted solely to building American scholarship on the region Central Europe and the Balkans. Junior scholars are chosen through a national, peer-reviewed competition to select 16-18 junior scholars in the social sciences and humanities.
JSTS is a unique opportunity for junior scholars as it offers a inter-disciplinary perspective. Throughout the meeting, junior scholars take turns presenting their research to their peers and Senior Scholars. This gives them the opportunity to receive feedback on their work, not only from renowned scholars in the field, but also their peers from different disciplines. Junior scholars leave the meeting with a better understanding of where their research fits in the larger field of East European studies. JSTS also helps them develop a network of junior and senior scholars with whom they can continue to collaborate. Thus, junior scholars obtain a
firmer footing in the field for planning their academic or government service careers. With an alumni pool of more than 300 scholars and the seminar now in its 20th year, JSTS has played an important role in the field of East European studies throughout the United States.
An indication of the value of the JSTS program can be discerned from a selection of the evaluations submitted by the recent participants:
The whole JSTS experience was a unique opportunity to get feedback on my work from individuals who know a great deal about the part of the world that I study. This is often not the case when I interact with other political scientists or with colleagues at a disciple-focused conference. I had the opportunity at JSTS to have much longer conversations than would have been possible at these other venues and in a more relaxed environment. I also got to see what work other young scholars were producing in various fields, since at inter-disciplinary conferences, I rarely attend history or sociology panels.
Stephen Bloom, PhD Candidate, University of California, Los Angeles
No one in the corporate or policy world underestimates the power of “face time” and “networking,” and this is just as necessary for scholars and academics. I’d venture a guess that any one of us would say we learned more from three days of this working conference at Wye Woods than from a dozen traditional conferences or two dozen published papers. There simply is no substitute for taking the time to hear others’ perspectives and learn about other methods and opportunities, and that’s as true for scholarship as for any other realm of endeavor.
Laurie Koloski, Assistant Professor, College of William and Mary
JSTS was a phenomenal opportunity for junior scholars to share their research with, receive constructive feedback from, and socialize with other scholars (both senior and junior) interested in East European studies. As a Ph.D. candidate in history at Ohio State University, I feel isolated, particularly because currently we have no scholars working in the field of East European history. This program put me in contact with scholars with whom I was able to (and will continue to) share my research and ask for assistance. Senior scholars were supportive and very knowledgeable about the field. I cannot stress enough how much I gained from JSTS. It was an honor to be a part of this program and an honor to work with all of
these other scholars on such an intimate level.
Basia Nowak, PhD Candidate, Ohio State University
We encourage you to share this opportunity with your students and colleagues. Application forms and instructions are available at ttp://www.wilsoncenter.org/ees. If you have any questions regarding JSTS eligibility please contact ees@wilsoncenter.org.
Thank you for your help!
NB: If current funding restrictions remain, this will be the last year that projects related to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia will be accepted.

CfP: Queer Theory Conference, Warsaw, August 2006
Warsaw University
Gender Studies Center and American Studies Center
Seeking Queer Alliances: Resisting Dominant Discourses and Institutions 7th international queer studies conference
29-30.08.2006
As the political climate in many parts of the world turns increasingly conservative, we are asking whether a concept such as global homophobia may be a useful analytical and/or political tool, and—as a correlate question—whether queer concepts travel well across political borders and geo-cultural spaces.
Do dominant discourses that include neo-liberalism as well as fundamentalisms of all kinds, and dominant institutions spanning the state as well as churches, require distinct forms of counterpractice? How to reclaim discourse appropriated by the
dominant institutions?
What are and what could such practices of resistance be? To what extent may our experiences of LGBTQ subjugation and LGBTQ resistance be shared and also used to mutual advantage? Who may our dialogue partners be for such sharing? What alliances have been formed, and in which locations, for purposes of political activism and for
achieving particular strategic aims? What is the place of feminist concepts in queer theory?
How is queer theory reflected in political activism, and how have particular theoretical concepts been adopted for political practice in different cultural contexts? How do activists serve as theorists, how do theorists serve as political practitioners, and how does the relationship between those functions manifest itself across contexts?
What is the role of mutual respect and self-respect in the forming of queer/LGBTQ alliances across cultural spaces? What are some internal and external obstacles to communication among queers occupying different social and geographical spaces? What role does the category of gender play in those different places? And what are the factors of cohesion from one alliance to another?
We wish to ask those questions, and others, in the context of the translatability of queer concepts across cultural and linguistic spaces, as well as the translatability between the analytical and the practical uses to which these concepts are put.
As far the format of the conference is concerned, there will be twelve 90-minute sessions over the course of two days, and a two-hour summing up discussion at the end of each day. We would like each of the 90-minute sessions to be hosted by individuals or teams ("session leaders") who will be responsible for the theme and form of the session, e.g. workshop, roundtable discussion, conventional panel, panel consisting of several short statements (or "postcards") followed by a discussion, or any other format. We welcome 200-word proposals for whole 90-minute sessions or
individual papers until May 15th, 2006. The proposals should be sent to:

Public Policy on Democratizing Access to Education for Marginalized Groups

As we progress through the 21st Century we must craft public policies that address inequalities in workforces in order for individual workers to have the opportunities to reach economic self-sufficiency, and also for countries to be economically competitive in a global marketplace. Yet many workers, particularly those in marginalized populations (based on race, gender, educational attainment, age, disability, etc; along with the intersections of these identities) are not provided with opportunities to gain the education and skills needed to succeed.
Specifically there has been much research documenting the changing skill needs and
educational requirements of local and global labor markets. Yet the articulation of the ways in which members of society can attain the education and skills training needed, and the role of the public sector to facilitate that process effectively is often left unclear. Central to this is that public policy needs a clear understanding of the nexus between education and employment throughout a worker's lifetime, and what barriers exist for groups of workers to attain that education. Simply put, although public policy must find ways to direct education and skills training to all workers, often the needs of marginalized populations are not fully understood or addressed by policy.
This special issue seeks contributions that address innovative ways that public policy can be crafted in order to "democratize access" to education and skills training (defined broadly to include such forms of education as: basic literacy, industry specific skills, college, and advanced education) to all populations. We welcome papers that use interdisciplinary frameworks, and represent different methodologies, countries, labor market policies, and educational policies. Among other ideas, questions can focus on:
1.. What are the ways that public sector policy can facilitate skills training and education to marginalized groups? What are some public policy programs that have provided access to education to marginalized groups? What is the effect of these policies on educational and skills attainment of these groups?
2.. How can/does public policy respond to the needs of changing global marketplaces?
3.. To what extent are existing public policy programs around education and employment outdated and discriminatory?
4.. How can understandings of inequality inform public policy surrounding education and employment?
5.. How can/does the public sector promote and/or hinder education and training for marginalized groups?
6.. How do work and family demands affect individuals' access to education? How can public policy address them?
7.. What is the role of academics in informing public policy around education, employment, and inequality?

www.transcend.org
Organised by TRANSCEND and the Peace Action, Training and Research Institute of Romania (PATRIR)
April 10-14, 2006 Cluj-Napoca, Romania
This course offers an introduction to gender studies, analysis of the complex relationships between gender and social constructions and between gender, race and class privileges. During the course we will explore the interdependency between gender and power and focus on theory and practices of gender roles in different societies. The course will seek to explore how understanding of gendered social constructions can help in addressing gender inequalities and promote gender equity and cultures of peace.
The course will then focus on militarism, the war system and peace – as expressions of social and gender-based constructions. It will demonstrate a direct connection between militarism and gender based violence, gender based societal positions and violent societies through examples from the Middle East, South East Asia, Western and Eastern Europe, with emphasis on the Balkans and the US.
Gender identity will be examined, via dichotomies such as passivity-activity, hero-victim (heroism-victimhood / victimization), femininities-masculinities, strong-weak and peace-war. It will highlight gender issues related to war such as rape as a tool of war, human and women’s security and protection strategies such as community based security, national and international intervention and peace keeping operations in relation to gendered power relationships.
Contextual texts used in the training will include: UN Security Council resolution 1325, CEDAW.

Invitation for an accepted training course on "Environmental Consciousness and Youth", in Kusadasý / Turkey in April 2006
Dear Friends,
Gladly, the Training Course on “Environmental Consciousness and Youth” which will take place in Kuþadasý / Turkey in April 2006 has been accepted. For 6 days nearly 9 different EU countries will be in Turkey. Kuþadasý is a very nice town on the west cost of Turkey. You can get more info about Kuþadasý from this website:
http://www.kusadasi.net/info/about.htm
Damage to the environment has been growing steadily worse in recent decades. Every year, some 2 billion tones of waste are produced in the Member States, while C02 emissions from homes and vehicles are increasing, as is our consumption of "dirty" energy. The quality of life for people living in Europe, especially in urban areas, has declined considerably because of pollution, noise and vandalism. Protection of the environment is therefore one of the major challenges facing Europe. It is now
recognised that the European model of development cannot be based on the depletion of natural resources and the deterioration of our environment. We still have an individual and collective national identity.
However, as not only every global player but also every consumer in the supermarket and every car-driver is today a global actor, so it is imperative to develop a global awareness.
In this training course, we are going to try to explain the European environmental policy, objectives and the principles of the European Union. What have been done in terms of environmental integration is another subject that will be included within the course. And the role of the civil society and non governmental organizations in international environmental policy will be on our agenda. We are going to use formal and non-formal education tools with an intercultural dimension.
The course will be on 7-12 April 2006. 7th April is arrival and 13th April is departure days-(you are expected to be in Kuþadasý in the morning on 7th April). We will stay at a hotel in the center of Kuþadasý. English is the official language.
We cover the accommodation only for the days of the event (7-12 April 2006) and % 70 of the travel costs will be covered. Please try to arrange your journey in the most economical manner possible (APEX tickets, student fee, etc). Participation fee is 50 Euro. 1 participant or 2 participants will join from each organization. As the number of applicants is very high we have to make a selection. We will give info about the travel after we finalize the participants list.
Attached to this email, I am sending you a confirmation sheet for the participants and Part 3 for the organization which must be filled in by the participant and sent back to by e-mail and fax before 25th February, so as to decide the participants and carry out administrative work.
We are going to give more info about programme and the travel as soon as all the participants send their confirmation sheets. Please don’t forget to send the estimated travel costs. The nearest airport to Kuþadasý is Ýzmir. We will meet you at the airport and then take you to the hotel. The maximum travel cost should be 450 Euro.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any questions or suggestions.
