GEM-STONES Edited volumes

Each of the four Works Packages will jointly produce one edited volume collecting contributions from the linked ESRs and their supervisors. The Edited Volumes will be published as part of the GEM Book Series (Routledge).

The ESRs were involved from the start in determining the approach and focus of the edited volumes, and during the production of the edited volumes they have presented their work to, and received feedback from their peers as well as contributing senior academics. This has allowed the ESRs to benefit from insight into, and an early experience of the academic book publication process. Getting published as a contributor to the edited volumes will also constitute a significant early achievement for their professional and academic profile.

STUDENT PROJECTS

The fellows are encouraged to promote both their joint and individual research efforts on scientific platforms beyond the immediate GEM-STONES’s framework. To this end, a limited amount of funds has been reserved for bottom-up student-led initiatives.

These initiatives can include for example participation in, and organisation of scientific workshops, or organisation of panels in international conferences.
