The Board of the Frieda Saeys Foundation announces the sixth of an ongoing series of awards to support young scholars (master, doctoral and recently graduated post-doctoral students) to attend Etmaal 2025 in Bruges on the 3 – 4 February 2025, organized under the auspices of the Netherlands-Flanders Communication Association (NeFCA).
The Frieda Saeys Foundation strives to stimulate research in memory of the late Professor dr. Frieda Saeys (1948-2007), Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences, Ghent University, who studied and lectured in the fields of media, gender, policy, and diversity.
The winner will be selected by a Review Committee from submitted abstracts of papers on topics related to gender and media. The Review Committee includes faculty of the Departments of Communication Sciences of Ghent University and KULeuven, and a representative from NeFCA’s Young Scholars Network.
The prize awarded will consist of conference attendance fees, and, for meetings outside of the immediate area, transportation and/or housing support, as necessary to attend the Etmaal conference, the total not to exceed 500 EURO. Abstracts are not required to have been submitted to Etmaal.
