Aim and scope

Following the success of the 1st Forum for Early-stage Researchers in 2013, the editorial board of Fachsprache. International Journal of Specialized Communication and the hosts of the LSP2015 have initiated the 2nd Forum for Early-Stage Researchers in LSP.

The Forum is designed for graduate students, junior researchers as well as post-docs to provide a platform to introduce and discuss their research plans, address their methodology or other relevant issues of their research. A panel of senior researchers will comment on the five-minute statement presentations of the researchers and share their experiences and views. The Forum aims at providing a supportive international setting, where doctoral students can meet their peers and academics from other countries and exchange their research ideas and network.

Conveners:

Organized by the editorial board of Fachsprache. International Journal of Specialized Communication and Professor Merja Koskela (University of Vaasa) in cooperation with the hosts of the LSP2015.
