Who can apply?
|
MA students, doctoral candidates and recent PhDs in relevant fields (anthropology, history, literature, sociology, interdisciplinary arts, cultural, gender and new media studies), as well as artists, activists and cultural producers, are invited to apply to the Pelion Summer Lab. In exceptional cases, we will consider qualified, advanced undergraduates and recent BA graduates.
We are seeking participants who clearly demonstrate their reasons for wanting to attend the particular PSL and can point to a prior history of research, collaboration, creative experimentation and public intervention. |

How much will PSL cost me?
The Pelion Summer Lab is a quixotic and non-profit labor of love. There is no tuition for our 10-day program.
However, participants will be required to cover the cost of their personal expenses (travel to Neochori, food and lodging) and a registration fee of 200E (payable to the non-profit "Cosmopolitik: Network for Social Research and Public Action").

What does the registration fee cover?
The registration fee covers
- basic operating costs of the PSL (such as printing, cleaning, gas, PSL swag, tech)
- as much food as we can provide to you, including breakfast (if not offered in your accommodations), daily coffee/tea and light snacks/fruit, some meals
- cost for local transportation (to beach, other villages)
- incidental expenses for the public experiment designed by the cohort
ARE THERE SCHOLARSHIPS?
Many students in the past have successfully applied for travel/summer funds through their home universities (we will of course provide you any necessary documentation).
We are happy to announce that we can offer 3 half scholarships (covering accommodations for 10 days) on a selective basis for students with financial needs who are based at Greek public universities.

What are my accommodation options in NEOCHORI?
Accommodations in Neochori are limited and varied in cost.
- The price of accommodation ranges from 25-55 Euro a night (i.e., 250E - 550E for 10 nights accommodation)
- We have already made arrangements for participants.
- Details and choices will be provided after acceptance to the program.
Will I get a record of my participation?
Definitely. A couple weeks after the end of the lab, a certificate of attendance will be sent to you. The issuance of the certificate is dependent on regular attendance of the lab activities and participation in the public experiment on the final day. If you need this document immediately after finishing the program, just let us know.
