INTERNATIONAL GRADUATE COLLEGE: "CONFLICT AND COOPERATION BETWEEN SOCIAL GROUPS"
The International Graduate College at the University of Jena (Germany), supported and financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, will award three fellowships for doctoral students starting October 1, 2007 (tenable for up to 3 years).
The International Graduate College was established in 2001 as a collaboration of research from four European centres in the area of intergroup relations: Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Germany, University of Kent at Canterbury and University of Sussex, United Kingdom, and the Université catholique de Louvain, Belgium. The scope of the research program is concerned with the antecedents, underlying processes and effects of change in the relations between social groups. The change perspective covers such fundamental issues as outgroup devaluation, intergroup discrimination and cooperation, tolerance towards outgroups and multicultural diversity. For a list of the pursued research projects and further information on the College including faculty, please look at:
