Pitch & Connect Session with Mobile Comm Scholars 

​

We will have 'Pitch & Connect' sessions, where you can shortly pitch a current project/a current idea/ your research philosophy /… to  other MCIG scholars. This is an easy format were you can get to know each other around discussions about different ideas and projects.

​

How it works: During a one hour Zoom session, you will be thrown into a breakout room with a handful of people where each of you has the opportunity to present your project, a current idea, your research philosophy or whatever else related to your work you want to discuss. The one rule is: you cannot use more than one Power Point slide (if you use one at all) and you have 3 minutes to introduce your topic. This session enables professional exchanges without the pressure of a full-on presentation and gives you the opportunity to have discussions with likeminded people.

​

Sessions are synchronous and will take place at:

​

Fr, May, 28  UTC 3 p.m.

Sa, May, 29. UTC 7 a.m.

Su, May, 30 UTC 0 a.m.

​

​

Global South Networking Session

​

How it works: We will have a Global South networking session for scholars coming from the Global South, doing research on the Global South, and anyone who is interested in the event. There will be random meet and greets as well as bigger group chat for us to get to know one another and discuss shared ideas and concerns.

​

Sessions will take place at:

Sa, May, 29 UTC 2 p.m.

Su, May, 30 UTC 3 a.m.

​
