SACM - Swiss Association of Communication and Media Research
The Swiss Association of Communication and Media Research (SACM) has made it its goal to support young researchers and to make excellent projects visible. To this end, doctoral students and scientific collaborators profit of reduced conference fees and may get financial support for organizing workshops. Outstanding projects are honored, among others, by the SACM Dissertation Prize and the Best Presentation Award by the Ulrich Saxer Foundation.
In the SACM board of administration, junior scholars are currently represented by Jérôme Chariatte (University of Fribourg-Freiburg) and Michelle Möri (University of Zurich). The SACM allocates a maximum of CHF 1500 per calendar year to the mid-level representatives on the board to organise activities for the mid-level staff.
