Market Engineering is considered as an essential element of this research program. Therefore, the purpose of the Graduate School is to investigate interdisciplinary and problem-oriented approaches to all aspects of electronic markets, especially the role and power of information. The following and related topics will be covered: - information and network economy, game theory and behavioural economics, - capital markets, quality and complexity management of electronic markets, - P2P, web services and semantic web, self-organizing and spontaneous networks, - digital rights management, contracts - etc. * Objectives of the Program Students of the Graduate School learn to comprehend, to enhance, and to evaluate the potentials of electronic markets from a broad perspective and to integrate them as solutions for businesses. Based on their interdisciplinary training students are well able to develop solutions that address economic, business, legal and IT aspects in a well-balanced way after graduation. Within our information society they are thus highly qualified for an academic career as well as for leading positions in industry. The program is financed by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and supported by wellknown industrial corporations. Further information about the focus, application, and admission procedure are given at http://www.ime.uni-karlsruhe.de. * Applications should be submitted to the chairperson of the Graduate School by January 10th 2004 (electronic submissions are preferred and should be send to mailto:ime at iw.uni-karlsruhe.de): Prof. Dr. Christof Weinhardt Institute of Information Engineering and Management University of Karlsruhe Englerstrasse 14 D-76131 Karlsruhe Germany [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.iw.uni-karlsruhe.de Tel. +49 (0) 721 608 8370 Fax +49 (0) 721 608 8399 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UNIVERSITY OF NOTTINGHAM, ENGLAND Centre for Social Research in Health Work and Health Care FULL-TIME PHD STUDENTSHIPS (INTERNATIONAL AND EUROPEAN UNION STUDENTS) The Centre for Social Research in Health and Health Care brings together researchers from a range of disciplines to carry out interdisciplinary research into the delivery and experience of health care, in the context of current developments in health policy and the associated restructuring of education for health professionals. Researchers associated with the Centre are drawn from a wide range of disciplines and subject areas, including Sociology, Health Policy, Nursing, Education, Pharmacy and Community Health Sciences (including General Practice, Community Psychiatry and Ageing and Disability Research). Further information about this Centre can be found at www.nottingham.ac.uk/CSRHHC. Successful applicants will undertake doctoral research under the joint supervision staff drawn from at least two of the collaborating Schools (Sociology & Social Policy; Nursing; Education; Pharmacy; Community Health Sciences). They will be based in the School of one of their supervisors. This will normally be the School which reflects their own disciplinary/subject background. However, they will also be encouraged participate in the full range of Centre activities, including Centre seminars and workshops, and in relevant activities in partner Schools. An individualised research training programme will be devised for each student with an emphasis on moving beyond their home discipline. This programme will reflect their prior experience and training and will equip students with the knowledge and skills required to conduct high quality research, within an appropriate time scale, and with a broad-based understanding of the research practices within a range of health, social and educational sciences. Students will have access to the modules of an interdisciplinary Master's degree in Research Methods, which is jointly delivered by the Schools collaborating in this Centre. Full tuition fee scholarships will be offered to one full-time international research student and to one full-time European Union (non-UK) research student registering in September/October 2004.

There are a large number of applicants, whom the Scholarship Organisation tries to select, those students whose outstanding achievements, social political dedication and personal qualities offer the best possible guarantee that the scholarship will be completed successfully. In 1981, the Hanns Seidel Foundation support for foreign scholars began with 24 scholarships for students from the People's Republic of China. Since then, assistance has been provided to more than xxxxx scholars from xxxx countries. Every year, nearly 100 academics, mostly from the Third World, complete the program for foreign postgraduates, as the rule with two-year-scholarships. The stay in the Federal Republic of Germany and the experiences which it entails are intended to enable foreign scholars, after they return home, to play an active part in positions of responsibility in their countries' economic, technological, social and political development, and to contribute actively to mutual understanding and peaceful coexistence. In 2002, the Hanns Seidel Foundation awards the following scholarships in Germany: 151 university students; many of them use the opportunity to spend part or all of an academic year aboard 125 postgraduates working for doctorates 66 students at the university of the applied sciences 83 students in "sponsorship for junior journalists" The Hanns Seidel Foundation was the first foundation to provide assistance to students at the university of the applied sciences. Media policy and information technology Apart from student scholarships, the Scholarship Organisation has also the section for "Media policy information technology", whose task it is to establish and foster contacts with those responsible for decision-making in media policy and to provide for further training and information for multipliers with media competence. Former scholars Worthy of note is the close contact that former scholarship recipient have with the Hanns Seidel Foundation's work. The "Former scholars club" - founded in 1992 - carries out ist own events program with seminars, study trips, etc. The scholarship Organisation's events The Hanns Seidel Foundation's Scholarship Organisation organises weekend seminars and vacation activities, among other things, for scholars and juniors journalists, and also media congresses and expert discussions on media policy. Foreign Scholarships Scholarships for foreign postgraduates and academics Target For the Hanns Seidel Foundation, assisting young and highly qualified foreign academics, especially from Third World countries, is an investment in the future with the aim of enabling the trained experts to play their part in the independent further development of their home countries so as to turn these into politically stable and economically strong partners for the entire world. The intention is to avoid conflicts between developing countries themselves and between developing countries and industrial nations and to play a role in paving the way to a peaceful coexistence of all nations on Earth on a political, economic and social level. Target group The targets for foreign scholarships are young (the age limit is 32 years) and highly qualified foreign postgraduates with excellent degrees, good knowledge of the German language and socio-political commitment. Recruiting of scholarship applicants The project managers in cooperation with the Hanns Seidel Foundation's partner organisations effect a pre-selection in the respective countries. Due to the limited resources for this programme, unfortunately only applicants directly from the above mentioned projects or their immediate vicinity can be considered. The final selection is effected by the Foreign Scholarships department at headquarters or within the scope of local selection conventions. Regrettably, direct applications to the Hanns Seidel Foundation cannot be considered!! Scholarship duration The duration of a scholarship is 3 to 12 months. Scholarships are granted for research projects, internships or the final phase of research studies or doctorates. In the case of doctorates, a 6 to 12 month scholarship within the scope of "sandwich programs" is possible.
