Programme

The “ESF-JSPS Frontier Science Conference for Young Researchers 2010” will provide early career researchers from Europe and Japan with opportunities to explore jointly an emerging field of research. Through lecture sessions and working groups they can interact with some of the leading international experts in the field. Participants will sharpen their perception of future prospects for advances in the field, while building peer networks.

The 2010 conference will allow participants, both lecturers and early career scholars, to explore the theoretical and methodological frontiers of the field and to chart cutting- edge findings in a forward-looking manner, aimed at sketching new horizons for joint research. The conference will focus on the potential for developing comparative perspectives with explicit guiding theories and methodologies.
