CMCS is pleased to announce its 2010 Summer course, co-organized with the Annenberg School for Communications: "Media Development and Democratization: Understanding and Implementing Monitoring and Evaluation Programs". The course will take place on July 5 - 16, 2010, in Budapest, as part of the CEU Summer University.

This is an intensive course, focused on the monitoring and evaluation of international aid programs and their impact, with a focus on the role of radio as a medium for development goals. The course will cover the history, theory, practice, current trends, and differing methodologies regarding such monitoring and evaluation.

The goals of the course are:

  1. To stimulate and advance research, scholarship and academic discourse on monitoring and evaluation in media development;
  2. To identify a core group of scholars working in this area and nurture their research interests and capabilities with the aim of future collaborations amongst faculty, course participants, institutions and CEU; 
  3. To give participants the opportunity to gain valuable experience in monitoring and evaluation through the seminars, group project work, and field trips.

Applications are welcome until February 15, 2010. PhD students, advanced MA students, media development professionals with at least 3 years of experience (drawing from government, civil society/NGOs, foundations), journalists or other media practitioners with a demonstrated interest in media development, as well as professionals from organizations that undertake program monitoring and evaluation, are invited to apply.
