Subsidised Leeds Summer Schools 2015 Further Information and Application Guidance Study Abroad Office http://studyabroad.leeds.ac.uk Subsidised Leeds Summer Schools 2015 Further Information and Application Guidance What is on offer? The Study Abroad Office is able to offer several subsidised summer school opportunities for University of Leeds students. A summer school is a fantastic way to gain an academic experience in another country for a shorter period of time, and can allow you to study subjects that you would be unable to take as part of your Leeds degree. While participation in a summer school will not count towards your Leeds degree in any way, it will still give you a valuable experience to put on your CV! The details of 2015 summer opportunities are listed at the end of this document. Eligibility Criteria In order to apply for a place on a subsidised Leeds summer school you must: 1. Have a minimum 2.2 average 2. Be a degree-seeking Undergraduate student not in your final year of study at Leeds 3. Be able to attend the summer programme for the full programme period Researching Your Options 1. Study Abroad Office VLE Organisation Student feedback from previous years can be found here. This feedback is particularly helpful in finding out more about accommodation options and costs. How to enrol: a) Using ‘Study Abroad’ as your search criteria, search from the VLE homepage for the study abroad organisation (not module). b) Select ‘enrol’ when you are presented with the drop down menu to the right of CJH00003. Don’t forget to select ‘submit’ on the following details screen. Go to the ‘Short Programme Opportunities’ section and then to the ‘Student Feedback’ folder. Often students will leave their contact details on these forms in which case you can contact them directly. 2. Partner University Website Look at the partner university’s main website to get a feel for academic specialities, campus life, and the local area. Many universities will also have a dedicated summer school section on their website with information specific to their summer programme. 3. Study Abroad Office Hours Pop into the Study Abroad Office for a chat. We’re open between 11am and 3pm, Monday to Friday throughout the year and are happy to talk to you about your summer school options. We are based on Level 11 of the Marjorie and Arnold Ziff Building 1 How to Apply You must first submit an application to the University of Leeds Study Abroad Office, as there are a limited number of subsidised places available. You must then be selected by the University of Leeds as a participant in order to qualify for one of these. Students should not apply directly to the partner university. You may list up to five summer schools in order of preference. Please consider your preferences very carefully before submitting them, as you may be selected for any of them. Do not assume that a high academic average will guarantee you your first or second choice and make sure you would be happy to go to any of your preferences. The deadline for applications is 3pm on Monday 16th February 2015. Application Documents Please submit the following documents to the Study Abroad Office in hard copy format by 3pm on Monday 16th February. The Study Abroad Office is open Monday – Friday, 11am – 3pm. 1. Initial Application Form This form provides all your details to the study abroad office. Please ensure that you enter your most up to date contact details as we may need to contact you urgently about your application. It also includes a reference section which must be signed by a member of staff e.g. personal tutor, lecturer, student support officer, school study abroad coordinator. 2. Supporting Statement All applicants must write a statement of no more than 300 words explaining your motives for wanting to take part in the programme. In your statement you may wish to consider the following points: What is it about completing a summer programme that interests you? What background knowledge do you have that you want to build on by participating in a summer programme? What do you expect to get out of the experience e.g. personal development, academic and/ or practical skills etc. 3. Your previous academic year’s grades. First years should submit details of any provisional marks achieved so far. Other students should obtain an official transcript from the Student Services Counter (free of charge). 4. Passport Copy We also ask you to submit a copy of the information page of your passport. This will help us to ensure we prepare the correct advice for you. We may also submit this copy to your host university if your application is successful. What Happens Next The Study Abroad Office Selection Committee will consider all applications submitted against the eligibility criteria, and the supporting statement will be examined with the following points in mind: Have you demonstrated a genuine interest in the programme? Have you demonstrated a commitment to developing skills and attributes through participating in the opportunities available to you during your time at the University of Leeds? Please see the Leeds for Life website for hints and tips (http://leedsforlife.leeds.ac.uk/) 2 You will be advised of the outcome of your application by email at the address given on the application by 5pm on Monday 23rd February 2015. You can indicate on your application whether you wish to be considered for a second round of selection for remaining places, should you not be allocated one of your initial preferences. The application deadline for remaining places will be 3pm on Friday 27th February 2015. Please note that neither opportunity in Hong Kong, nor the Japanese Language Summer Program at Akita University, Japan will be available in the second round due to the quick turnaround required in sending supporting application documentation to these host universities. Successful applicants will be sent further information and application forms by email, which will need to be completed and returned to the Study Abroad Office promptly by the given deadline to confirm your place on the summer school. This will usually involve making a direct application to your host university. Below are the approximate deadlines for each programme (these will be confirmed in your acceptance e-mail if you are successful in gaining a place). If at this stage you no longer wish to take up your place on the summer school please let us know as soon as possible. Due to the tight deadlines involved we will not be able to offer your place to another student so please do think carefully before applying for a summer school place. The final deadline for withdrawals is 20th April 2015 (withdrawing after this date will incur a £100 fee).

  • Mapping Environmental Humanities Education in the Nordic Countries
    MAPPING ENVIRONMENTAL HUMANITIES EDUCATION IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES Bringing Research in Green Humanities into Teaching (BRIGHT) network A network of 1 2 Why this report? The Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary field of scholarly inquiry which examines the junction of humans and nature through humanistic research approaches, has emerged as a major element in environmental-themed research in the Nordic Countries. Environmental Humanities (EnvHum) encompasses work done in environmental history, ecocriticism, environmental literature studies, posthuman studies, animal studies, environmental philosophy, and more. These are joined together in their common quest to understand the relationship between humans and the non-human world and the shaping of that relationship by culture, action, and thought. Our age is facing imminent environmental threats, including global climate change, escalating biodiversity loss, rapid natural resource extraction, and unjust distribution of environmental damage and pollution. EnvHum asks how we understand what it means to be human in these challenging times as well as how humanities can contribute to our understanding of the challenges. The Bringing Research in Green Humanities into Teaching (BRIGHT) network was established to build capacity in EnvHum humanities in the Nordic and Baltic countries by collaboratively exploring methods of integrating Environmental Humanities research into first (Bachelors) and second (Masters) level university teaching and building new cooperative regional teaching programs in environmental. BRIGHT was founded in 2018 as a Nordplus-funded network coordinated by Professor Dolly Jørgensen, University of Stavanger. Because environmental issues are a priority contemporary concern, we need green humanities research to be coupled to teaching. The network will create synergies and connections between the dispersed environmental humanities groups across the region and strengthen the integration of environmental humanities research into Nordic education.

  • Forecasting Long Memory Series Subject to Structural Change: a Two-Stage Approach

In the first step we estimate the fractional exponent and, applying the fractional differencing operator, we obtain the underlying weakly dependent series. In the second step, we perform the multi-step ahead forecasts for the weakly dependent series and obtain their long memory counterparts by applying the fractional cumulation operator. The methodology applies to stationary and nonstationary cases. Simulations and an application to seven time series provide evidence that the new methodology is more robust to structural change and yields good forecasting results. Keywords: Forecasting, Spurious Long Memory, Structural Change, Local Whittle 1. Introduction The issue of analysing economic and other series which possess hyperbolically decaying autocorrelations has long been of concern in the time series analysis litera- ture. The work of Granger(1980), Granger and Joyeux(1980) and Hosking(1981), among others, has been influential in the study and modelling of such long memory series; see Beran(1994) and Baillie(1996) for an extensive survey of this field.

    CICALICS 2017 Call for Applications CICALICS The China Innovation Circles and Academy - Learning, Innovation and Competence Systems Background The initiative of CICALICS is built upon the experience by academia in Europe and North America. The experience shows that innovation studies can be greatly strengthened when scholars form national and international networks and organize research and training together. The topic of innovation studies has received increasing support from the political level, from policy makers and business managers and an increasing number of universities and research institutes has establish innovation studies and centers. What is CICALICS The purpose of CICALICS is to be a meeting place for scholars of innovation from innovation studies and centers in China and using CICALICS to reach and be a member of the global community of innovation researchers through GLOBALICS among others. Another purpose of CICALICS is research training of young scholars and doctoral students. The mission of CICALICS includes the following: 1. Invite a limited number, about 30, of outstanding international innovation scholars to become CICALICS members which form the outer circle. 2. Create an open national-level network of Chinese innovation scholars – and public administrators / policy makers which form the inner circle. 3. Central nodes in both the inner and outer circle are the centers for innovation research at Tsinghua Research Center for Technological Innovation (RCTI), Zhejiang University National Institute of Innovation Management (NIIM), and the Sino-Danish Center for education and research (SDC). 4. The network organises two annual events on late August. An annual CICALICS Workshop. The 2 days’ workshop normally invites 10-20 international scholars, together with ~100 Chinese participants.
