Tagung: "Die Albaner auf dem westlichen Balkan – Stand und Perspektiven der Forschung. Tagung zu Ehren von Peter Bartl", Wien, 18.-19. Dezember 2006
Veranstaltet vom:
Institut fuer Osteuropaeische Geschichte der Universitaet Wien Albanien-Institut Muenchen mit der Unterstuetzung der Balkan-Kommission der Oesterreichischen
Akademie der Wissenschaften
Die Geschichte der Albaner im westlichen Balkan wird seit dem 19. Jahrhundert von Historikern außerhalb Suedosteuropas, seit der zweiten Haelfte des 20. Jahrhunderts auch im albanischen Siedlungsgebiet selbst erforscht. Bis heute wurde noch kein Versuch eines Ueberblicks über den Forschungsstand versucht. Insbesondere fehlt eine ausfuehrliche Bewertung der albanischen und kosovarischen Historiographie nach dem Ende der jeweiligen kommunistischen Systeme und eine zusammenhaengende Analyse neuer Interpretationssche mata albanischer Historiker, die Bezug nehmen auf die politischen Veraenderungen in den letzten eineinhalb Jahrzehnten.
Die im Mai 2005 erfolgte Ueberfuehrung der Bibliothek des Albanien-Instituts Muenchen nach Wien, d.h. die Uebersiedlung einer der wichtigsten Albanien-Sammlungen außerhalb Suedosteuropas, soll zum Anlass genommen werden, um im Rahmen einer Tagung 13 international ausgewiesene Experten aus Oesterreich, Deutschland, Frankreich,
England und den USA einzuladen.
Die Teilnehmenden werden den gegenwaertigen Forschungsstand referieren und in einem zweiten Schritt Forschungsdesiderat a vorstellen. Thematisch werden in chronologischem Aufbau zentrale Fragen der albanischen Geschichte abgehandelt, wobei sozial- und kulturwissenschaftl iche Zugaenge jeweils in den Epochenueberblicken zu integrieren sind. Eigene Referate sind fuer die Bereiche der Anthropologie und der neueren Kulturgeschichte mit besonderer Beruecksichtigung der Literatursoziologie vorgesehen.
Die Ergebnisse sollen als Sammelband mit Handbuchcharakter Grundlage fuer eine vertiefte wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit albanischsprachigen Forschern dienen. Die Tagung ist bewusst als Diskussionsangebot der außerhalb Suedosteuropas betriebenen historischen Albanologie zu verstehen.

What are the political dimensions of poverty reduction and what factors determine shifts from exclusion to inclusion of poverty concerns in political arenas and policy agendas? What are the political dimensions of so-called "failing states",
particularly in relation to intrastate social violence and political conflict?
The project is situated within the research programme `Political conflict, cultural trauma and social reconciliation' (CTR) which is part of the Research Centre CERES. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be involved in the guiding and supervision of the research projects.

Additional information about the job:
We are looking for a PhD candidate on the following project:
Peace, social reconstruction and collective trauma in post-war Mozambique
This research project centers on the complex interplay of memory, collective trauma, social reconstruction, and poverty in the aftermath of the Mozambican civil war. The 1992 peace accord between the Mozambican government and the Renamo guerrilla force ended more than a decade of armed violence but did not bring nation-wide
reconciliation, ethnic tolerance, full participatory citizenship, and overall economic prosperity. This project wants to analyze the impediments to such post-war reconstruction by focusing on the influence of collective trauma, enduring ethnic tensions, and social exclusion processes as intervening variables. The research will be conducted in Maputo, and consists of ethnographic research among foreign aid agencies, humanitarian organizations, and state-sponsored and informal organizations of war veterans and victim groups. This project runs parallel to a similar doctoral study on post-authoritarian rule in Chile.

Job description
PhD position: Model-driven design of context-aware mobile services Technological developments in communications, hardware and software have enabled the development of applications that can adapt transparently to changes in the capabilities of the communication infrastructure, to whatever the user is doing, and to his personal
preferences and needs. These applications will offer so called ubiquitous, mobile, context-aware, personalised services to their end users. In order to realise this, advanced methods and tools are required to facilitate the development and provisioning of new services. These tools should shield the developers from the
heterogeneous nature of the communication infrastructure and the diversity in devices through which their services will be provided. This PhD project concerns the application of Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) principles and technologies to the design of context-aware mobile services. This PhD project will be embedded in the Freeband A-MUSE project (http://a-muse. freeband. nl/). Vacancy number 06/111. PhD position: Service creation and execution platform for intelligent and personalized mobile services
This PhD project addresses the challenge of designing, developing and putting into operation efficient and innovative mobile Service creation/execution Platforms for converged networks beyond 3G.

and Content & Information Services. This platform will support multiple heterogeneous execution platforms allowing for new, innovative services to be spread across different operator domains and over different countries. This PhD project will be embedded in the European project SPICE (6th Framework Programme, IST Integrated Project, http://www.ist- spice.org/). Vacancy number 06/112.

"Society and Future"; 2nd call for proposals
Dear Sir, Madam,
The Belgian Science Policy Office is now launching the second call for proposals of the "Society and Future" research programme in the field of social sciences. The programme was introduced in 2005 and is open to the participation of researchers from outside Belgium (when integrated in a network with a Belgian co-ordinatior). The aim of the programme is to increase the knowledge needed for decision-making at the Belgian federal level.
The present call covers the following 11 themes or chapters that compose the programme:
1. Democracy in an international context
2. The functioning of the institutions
3. Constitutional order and justice
4. Economy and governance
5. Science, knowledge, new technologies and the internet
6. Spatial aspects of social diversity
7. Inequality and social exclusion
8. Special target groups for a social cohesion policy: women and the elderly
9. Multiculturality and social cohesion
10. Labour market, quality of work and employment
11. Fairness and health
Researchers are invited to work out transversal proposals.
In general, one can consider that a research project will need two researchers over a period of two to three years, which corresponds to a budget of 300.000 € to 450.000 €. Four-year projects are not excluded.
Projects will be evaluated under a two-step procedure, by “peer review". The deadline for submission of research pre-proposals is November 23, 2006.
For more information, please visit http://www.belspo. be/belspo/ home/calls/ TA2006_en. stm
Thank you for your attention.

Early Stage Researcher in Environmental science (Centre for Environmental Research Leipzig, Germany)
The main objective is to develop RDA methodologies for toxicants with respect to hazards and risks to aquatic organisms. This will include novel extraction and dosing techniques, multistep HPLC- and pcGC-based fractionation procedures, biotesting, chemical analysis and structure elucidation, and toxicant confirmation for polar and non-polar toxicants. A major focus will be on the development of methods for structure elucidation of toxicants that are not accessible by classical GC-MS methods including derivatization and LC-MS-based techniques. The methodology will be applied to contaminated surface waters and sediments as well as to selected toxic effluents (e.g. from dye processing).
Formation requirements: MSc. in analytical chemistry or related subjects. The candidate should be interested in environmental and effect-directed issues. He should have experience in structure elucidation by mass spectrometry as well as in GC-MS and LC-MS based chemical analytical techniques.

CfP: Graduate Student Workshop 2007, Harvard/Cambridge Ma, 2.2.2007
9th Annual Kokkalis Graduate Student Workshop
Call for Papers
The Kokkalis Program on Southeastern and East-Central Europe, John F. Kennedy School of Government, and the Southeastern Europe Study Group, Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies, Harvard University, will hold the ninth Kokkalis Graduate Student Workshop on February 2, 2007.
Doctoral students are invited to submit proposals for papers to be delivered at the workshop. Proposals should be a maximum of 500 words and should fall into one of the below thematic units:
Thematic units:
I. Secularism, Fundamentalism and Pluralism in Southeast Europe:
Papers should explore trends in secularism, fundamentalism and/or pluralism at the sub-state, inter-state and/or transnational level(s) in Southeast Europe. Papers can explore topics such as the constitutional and legal relationship between religion and the state; the organization, regulation and transformation of religion in public life; the links between religion and nationalism; democratic institution- building and religious human rights; and related subjects.
II. Nontraditional Security Threats in Southeast Europe:
Countries have faced security threats stemming from military action, politics and diplomacy. Increasingly, however, conflict and instability in Southeast Europe and, indeed, globally are being generated by nontraditional security threats such as terrorism, drug trafficking, health crises, environmental security, illegal immigration, economic and financial security, failures in governance, and information security. Papers should examine these and/or other nontraditional security issues in the region. Preference will be given to papers providing recommendations to improve policymaking to combat these new threats at the local, national and regional levels.
III. Innovative Governance and Entrepreneurship in Southeast Europe:
Papers should explore experiments in new forms of governance, partnerships and entrepreneurship in the public/private sector in Southeastern Europe and analyze the circumstances under which they emerged. Papers could, for example, focus on new entities, innovative projects, cross-sector partnerships and the circumstances (institutional, managerial, leadership, political, etc) in which they emerged as well as the challenges, dilemmas, and solutions facing the realization of such initiatives. Papers may stem from the domains of public policy, administration and/or management; entrepreneurship in the public, private or NGO sectors; or others.
Countries of focus:
Albania _ Bosnia-Herzegovina _ Bulgaria _ Croatia _ Cyprus _ Greece _ Hungary _ FYR Macedonia _ Moldova _ Montenegro _ Romania _ Serbia _ Slovenia _ Turkey

CfP: Hygiene Health Politics Eugenics: Engineering Society in 20th Century Southeast Europe
International Conference on "Hygiene Health Politics Eugenics: Engineering Society in twentieth-century Southeast Europe"
Institute of East European Studies of the Free University Berlin,
Berlin on May 31 June 2, 2007.
Call for Proposals on the Case of Albania
Deadline: 15. December 2006
The Institut of East European Studies of the Free University Berlin (Dr. Sevasti Trubeta), in cooperation with Department of Southeast European History of the University Graz (Dr. Christian Promitzer) and Oxford-Brookes University (Dr. Marius Turda) will hold an international conference on Hygiene Health Politics Eugenics:
Engineering Society in twentieth-century Southeast Europe in Berlin on May 31 June 2, 2007.
Scholars with research interests in the topics of hygiene, eugenics,
or the politics of health in the first half of the 20th century in Albania are encouraged to submit proposals for papers (300-400 words).
The conference will address the history of hygiene, public health and eugenics in Southeast Europe. Of particular interest will be the complex relationship between public health schemes, population politics and eugenic ideas and practices, on one hand, and strategies and technologies of power as these are manifested in the national politics of the states in the region, on the other. This relationship will be pursued both by looking at how Western and Central European concepts of hygiene, health and eugenics were implemented in southeast Europe, as well as by excavating the historical and social peculiarities of local traditions of hygiene and social hygiene.
The central topics to be discussed include: the understanding of hygiene; prevention and combating of diseases by scientific, social and state institutions in different southeast European countries; eugenic movements; historical attempts to introduce eugenic policies; public health; systems of social welfare; the tension between science, politics and socially active agencies, such as private associations, women clubs, etc.; the influence of international institutions, such as the Health Organization of the League of Nations, the Rockefeller Foundation, and the Red Cross; the relationship between public health and demographic changes with reference to the Balkan wars and the First World War.

“Europäische Integration und südöstliches/östliches Europa“
„Ergänzungsraum Südosteuropa“
Konzepte und Strategien des Mitteleuropäischen Wirtschaftstags und die Europapolitik im Zeichen der Südosterweiterung
Zu den einflussreichsten nichtstaatlichen Institutionen der Raum- und Wirtschaftsplanung in Mitteleuropa in der Zeit zwischen dem Ende des Ersten und dem Ende des Zweiten Weltkrieges gehörte der 1925 in Wien gegründete und 1930/31 von seiner Deutschen Gruppe in Berlin übernommene Mitteleuropäische Wirtschaftstag (MWT).
Die von ihm entwickelten wissenschaftlich basierten Strategien zur europäischen Raum- und Wirtschaftsordnung waren von der Vision eines starken Mitteleuropa geleitet und zielten darauf ab, den „Kernländern“ Deutschland und Österreich, deren Vereinigung er anstrebte, als „Ergänzungsraum“ die Länder Südosteuropas (insb. Jugoslawien, Bulgarien, Rumänien und Griechenland) zuzuordnen, die einerseits Ressourcen (Agrarprodukte, Erze) bereitstellen, andererseits aber als Absatzmarkt für deutsche
und österreichische Industrieprodukte dienen sollten. Ziel des Forschungsvorhabens, das wissenschaftshistor ische Untersuchungsansä tze mit wirtschafts- , sozial- und politikhistorischen Fragestellungen verbindet, ist zunächst, die Generierung des Planungswissens zu rekonstruieren, aus dem der MWT seine raumordnerischen und wirtschaftspolitisc hen Konzepte entwickelte. Diese Konzepte sollen sodann im Hinblick auf ihre Wechselwirkungen mit den politischen und militärischen Entwicklungen in der Region analysiert werden. Die vom MWT angeregten und beeinflussten personellen und institutionellen Verflechtungen in Südosteuropa mit ihrem Netz von Zweigfirmen, Niederlassungen, Kapitalinvestitione n, Geschäftsbeziehungen und Standortsicherungen sollen als Schritte der praktischen Umsetzung rekonstruiert und auf ihre etwaigen Effekte auf die weitere Strategieentwicklun g hin befragt werden. Die Wirkungsgeschichte der unter dem Dach des MWT entwickelten Raumordnungskonzept e soll dabei über die Epochengrenze von 1945 hinaus weiterverfolgt und daraufhin überprüft werden, inwieweit sich in
aktuellen Strategien der Euopapolitik, besonders der EU-Erweiterung nach Südosteuropa, historische Kontinuitäten widerspiegeln.
Für die Bearbeitung des zentralen Themenkomplexes der Raum- und Wirtschaftsplanung im Hinblick auf die Konstruktion Südosteuropas als „Ergänzungsraum“ wird eine Postdoc-Stelle eingerichtet (Dr. habil. Carl Freytag). Im Rahmen einer Dissertation soll als wichtiger Aspekt unserer Fragestellungen die Rolle der Bevölkerungswissensc haften bei der Raumplanung in Südosteuropa in der Zeit 1920–1970 erforscht werden.
Teilaspekte, wie die Rolle der Agrar- und Ernährungswissenscha ften bei der Raumplanung in Südosteuropa, die Erforschung und Ausbeutung der dortigen Erzlager, das Verhältnis lokaler Strukturen zur Großraumplanung, die kartographische Repräsentation von Kernländern und Ergänzungsräumen, Alfred Sohn-Rethels
nationalökonomische Analysen 1931–1936 und der utopische Gehalt der Raumplanungen des MWT sollen von Gastforscher/ inne/n während 3- bis 6-monatiger Aufenthalte in Wien untersucht werden.

The major themes of the Programme are Infection and Immunity, and Basic Cell and Molecular Biology (including structural and cell biology). The initial year of training involves in-depth analyses of topics of research relevant to the overall themes of the Programme, and 3 mini-projects in research laboratories attached to each of the Programme themes.
Students then can make an informed choice of their 3-year thesis project and complete their PhD in the 4-year period.
Further details of this varied and challenging course are available on the website www.cimr.cam. ac.uk/study/ wellcome. html.
Support includes a stipend for four years using the Wellcome Trust's own scales, starting at £16,853, *Home/EU student PhD registration fees, research expenses, personal development training funds and a contribution towards travel expenses. Students with or expecting to attain a 1st or 2:1 degree or equivalent, are invited to apply.
Please apply in writing with current curriculum vitae, including the names, fax numbers and email addresses of three academic referees (one of whom should have been a project supervisor) to: Mrs Susan Keene, Wellcome Trust Immunology Unit, MRC Centre, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 2QH. Telephone: 01223 330528. Fax: 01223 336815.
Email: sgk21@cam.ac. uk
Closing date for applications: Thursday 11th January 2007
Interview date (for short-listed candidates): Thursday 1st February 2007
The Programme will award fees to students at the 'home rate' plus a generous living allowance that is more than the University's estimated maintenance costs (see
http://www.admin. cam.ac.uk/ univ/gsprospectu s/funding/ costs.html).
There are two tiers of fees: home and overseas. The home rate is applicable to all students from EU countries plus one or two others. The overseas rate is applicable to those who do not qualify for home fees. However, the terms home and overseas are complex and you should see http://www.admin. cam.ac.uk/ univ/gsprospectu s/funding/ status.html for a definition of overseas.
The Programme does not pay fees at the overseas rate but there are highly competitive funding schemes that can pay the additional fees for overseas students.
See: http://www.admin. cam.ac.uk/ univ/gsprospectu s/funding/ overseas/ for information on supplementary funding schemes.
We cannot guarantee that any application will be successful.
Overseas applicants: Please note that in order to be considered for an Overseas Research Award (which covers the difference between Home/EU and overseas fees), the deadline for submission of the University Graduate Application Form is Friday 15th December 2006.

Postgraduate Studentship in Information Technology - Queen's
Postgraduate Studentship
Reasoning with Uncertainty and Inconsistency in Structured Scientific Knowledge The Department of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science A postgraduate studentship is available to work on an EPSRC-funded collaborative project entitled above (starting in January 2007) between (UCL) and (QUB). The award covers university fees for three years, plus an additional student stipend of £12,300.
Project Summary:
There is a huge and rapidly expanding amount of information available for scientists in various online resources. However, this wealth of information has created challenges for scientists who wish to locate and analyse knowledge from heterogeneous sources. Key problems that exist are that there is much uncertainty in individual sources of scientific knowledge, and many conflicts arising between different sources of scientific knowledge. Scientists therefore need tools that are tolerant of uncertainty and inconsistency in order to query and merge scientific knowledge.
This project aims to facilitate the analysis of scientific knowledge by the development of technology for structured scientific knowledge (SSK). SSK is represented by a set of SSK reports each of which is a structured report that describes one or more scientific datasources (such as one or more journal articles, empirical datasets, etc). The format is an XML document with textentries restricted to individual words, values or simple phrases in scientific terminology. SSK is
intended to help scientists understand the contents of a datasource. Each one contains summaritive information about the datasource (e.g. information from an abstract, summary of techniques used, etc) plus evaluative information about the datasource (eg. delineation of uncertainties and errors in the information source, qualifications of the key findings, etc). The summaritive information describes the
information provided by the authors of the datasource, and the evaluative information describes the information provided by the users or authors of the datasource. SSK can be constructed by hand, by information extraction technology, and as a result of analysing datasources.
In this project, we want to extend our existing work for merging and analysing heterogeneous structured information by harnessing formal theories for representing and reasoning with uncertain and inconsistent information. The result of the project will be a general theoretical framework for handling uncertainty and inconsistency in
SSK, and a demonstration of the framework in a prototype implementation for querying and merging potentially conflicting SSK from heterogeneous sources. More details of the project (including relevant research papers) can be found at
http://www.cs. ucl.ac.uk/ staff/a.hunter/ projects/ ssk/index. html
Applicants for the studentship should have a minimum of a 2:1 honours degree (or equivalent) in computer science, electronic engineering, or a related discipline with the appropriate experience and skills. An MPhil degree in Artificial Intelligence and research experience in Reasoning under Uncertainty are desirable.
