Bridging Research and Policy
Application deadline: end of May, 2003
The Global Development Network (GDN) is seeking researchers for a USD 1 million program of commissioned and competitively-determined studies for the second phase of its three-year Bridging Research and Policy (BRP) Project. In line with GDN's mandate, the majority of researchers for the project will be drawn from developing and transition countries. The specific aims of this project are to increase awareness among policy makers of the value of research; establish an international coalition interested in collaborating to improve linkages between research and policy; enhance understanding of how to improve the impact of research; and generate lessons, recommendations and practical tools and produce a range of information materials for use in guidelines and training.
Research in the second phase will focus on identifying practical ways of influencing the demand for, and uptake of, research by policy-makers; how researchers can try to ensure their work has a greater and faster impact on policy; how different types of network and policy research communities influence policymaking; and the impact that international issues in general and donors in particular have on bridging research and policy.

Youth and Globalisation
"Youth and Globalisation" is the name of the AEGEE Yearplan Project launched within the framework of "Europe in the World”. The project aims at raising awareness among students on current issues related to globalisation in Europe; surveying and evaluating the opinion of students on globalisation and its effects on European society; disseminating the opinion of European students; contributing to the clarification of the role of the European Union concerning issues connected to globalisation with the help of a position paper drafted on the basis of the results of the project.
The project starts with a survey, which will be distributed in universities all over Europe, in order to get an overview about students' knowledge on and interest in the phenomenon of globalisation. The universities participating in the distribution and collection of the questionnaires will have an opportunity to process the results themselves in the form of local debates, mini conferences, round-table discussions or other alternative activities connected to the subject. The survey will also serve as a basis for the discussions of the Study Meetings. Five such meetings, each focusing on one of the pillars mentioned above, will take place this summer in various locations in Europe, with the aim to further develop and deepen the thematic content of the project and to prepare the World Youth Summit.
The summit, which will take place in December, represents the highlight of the project and will be the closure of the whole series of events. It aims at gathering youth leaders from all over the world who will meet to process the results of the project and discuss a possible position paper on the alternative scenarios for globalisation.

The International Culture Week in Pécs (ICWiP)
August 8-17, 2003, Pecs, Hungary
Application deadline: not available
The International Culture Week in Pécs (ICWiP) is one of the most popular and known thematic student festivals in Europe. This year it is organised for the seventh time by Hungary's oldest institution of Higher Education, the University of Pécs and an active student NGO, the Student International Exchange Network (SIEN) Foundation.
This thematic student festival consists of a conference (with different topics every year) and of a line of cultural activities.
1. Policy-making in Europe "Make your voice heard!"
It is evident that an increasing number of youth NGOs have been formed in the past 10-15 years. Youth affairs are considered to be a priority matter by every governmental and international institution. These processes reflect the need and intention of this generation to form and direct the future namely, to: "make their voice heard!" To understand the responsibility of making decisions is a substantial task of this generation, in order to build a better present and future as active citizens of democratic regimes. One of the aims of the conference is to make students acquainted with their opportunities in appearing on the scenes of decision-making both at national and international levels. Young people should get to know those forums, where the resolutions and principles of Europe are being made, and also they should learn how to address the institutions and people in charge of managing their cause.
The goal and object of the WS is to work out a conception of youth policy-making, which contributes to a more effective co-operation between international youth NGOs and governmental organs or international associations. The organisers of the conference will provide the participants with the necessary guidelines to be able to come at valuable common conclusions. The final result will be a joint statement drafted by the students coming from different cultural backgrounds, based on their experiences and ideas.
2. Environmental challenges - "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?" (Midnight Oil)
The aim of this workshop is to examine the impact of economical development on our environment and society, realising the importance of ecological awareness and paying attention not only to short-term benefits and solutions, but also taking into consideration how our world will look like - quoting the main slogan of the conference - in 20 years, in 2023. Everybody should recognise that taking care about the environment is an investment into our future, the most useful and valuable one. It is necessary to think over the obligations in connection with the protection of our environment, both on individual and organisational levels. "Think globally, act locally!"
3. Intercultural relations and communication
"Interculturalism" is a complex notion, and it must be a priority to understand and experience its meaning in international communication. The objective of the workshop is to present and analyse the term itself and its added value, as well as what it denotes in different cultural circumstances: why it is important and how we should use it in intercultural relations. In addition to this, interculturalism is a kind of straining after tolerance, revealing the fact that accepting and valuing others' culture is a basis of communication and relation between civilisations. This knowledge needs to be adopted in every walk of life, in the private sphere as well as in politics, because it is a requirement for every fruitful co-operation.
4. Globalisation
"Whether we like it or not, globalisation is here. Our task is to control it, to use it to the advantage the mankind." (Romano Prodi, President of the EC of the EU)*
According to the idea presented in the European Commission's White Paper (2001, p 10.),** there exists a dichotomy between young people and globalisation. It means that the young people - as an important and integral group of society - are open towards the economical and cultural influences of the world; they support the products which symbolise globalisation. At the same time they criticise these products and they have doubts about the institutionalisation of globalisation. What are the pros and cons in this relation? How should we approach this complete economic, political and social process? The discussion of the WS can generate interesting and hot debates as the process itself seems to be unstoppable but controllable at the same time, doesn't it?
5. The role of the civil sector
The future of NGOs and voluntary work
Non-governmental youth organisations mean one of the most cohesive and active fields of voluntary work. Similar associations are more widespread and supported today in Western Europe, but since the political changes in the Eastern part of Europe the number of civil youth organisations has been increasing - which might show the advance of democracy. Important expressions and basics, for instance, the essence of voluntary work, need to be learnt and experienced. In the framework of this WS students will have the opportunity to exchange their experiences about how their NGOs function. Besides, they can also create new guidelines and co-operations on the basis of common definition and conception.
