青年發展是社會發展的重要關鍵。國立臺北大學人社學門標竿計畫過往的研究成果即關注在當代臺灣青年發展的狀況，特別是學校到工作的轉銜、金融包容性以及障礙青年研究等議題。此外，隨著目前資通訊技術（ICT）、移動裝置、社交媒體與互聯網應用的快速發展對當代社會產生了顯著影響，特別是對台灣青年生活的影響上。臺北大學標竿計畫的研究成果業已探索ICT發展如何影響台灣青年發展，包括在送貨員、工會和政府之間找出互動關係，探索金融科技如何塑造青年的投資行為，以及考察疫情期間障礙學生使用遠程學習工具的經驗。基於這些發現，國立臺北大學-英國里茲大學青年學者聯合工作坊旨在從全球的角度探索這些問題。因此，這個聯合工作坊邀請對上述問題感興趣或涉及「數位時代的青年發展」主題的青年學者一起參與，分享他們的研究成果。

The NTPU-LEEDS Joint Early Career Researchers Workshop Call for Participants

Introduction:
Youth development stands as a cornerstone for individual prosperity and societal progress. Recognizing its significance, the NTPU flagship projects aim to understand the condition of youth development in Taiwan, focusing particularly on three key aspects: school-to-work transition, financial inclusion, and youth with disabilities. Furthermore, the rapid development of ICT, mobile devices, social media, and new internet applications has had a notable impact on contemporary society, particularly in the lives of youth. Previous findings from the NTPU flagship project have identified how ICT development affects youth development in Taiwan, including the identification of interactive relationships among delivery persons, unions, and states, the exploration of how fintech shapes youth investment behaviors, and the examination of disabled students' experiences with remote learning tools during the pandemic. Building on these findings, the NTPU-LEEDS Joint Early Career Researchers Workshop aims to address these issues from a global perspective. Hence, this joint workshop invites those who are interested in the aforementioned issues, or related issues under the topic “Youth Development in the Digital Era,” to contribute their insights.

Participants:
The NTPU-LEEDS Jointed Early Career Researchers Workshop aims to provide PhD candidates, post-doctoral researchers, and assistant professors who interested in school to work transition, financial inclusion, and youth with disabilities under the digital era, or other related issues under the “Youth Development in the Digital Era”.

Goal:
Our goal is to assist participants in navigating their ongoing papers towards publishable articles while fostering networking opportunities within the academic community.

Format:
To ensure the quality of this workshop, we will limit the number of participants to 6-9 people. Each session will be led by one mentor, distinguished experts in their respective fields, who will guide discussions in a seminar style. Participants will receive feedback on their work from the section mentor and are also expected to provide constructive comments on others' work. Additionally, there will be a dedicated section for participants to formulate and express responses to the critiques they receive. Our workshop accepts only in-person participants to facilitate active engagement and collaboration. Participants are required to submit their full-text drafts by July 31st, allowing ample time for other scholars to review them before the sessions. Moreover, scholars will be assigned to present participants' papers, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of blind spots in their articles.

Benefit:
The selected participant will enjoy accommodation and meals during the workshop period. Additionally, they will benefit from mentorship in the aforementioned fields. These mentors will not only provide insights into their research findings but also share their experiences on how to survive in an academic career.

Mentorship:
This joint workshop will invite 3-6 mentors to each topic (the remaining mentors will be announced later).
1. For school to work transition: Ming-Chang Tsai, Research Fellow and Executive Director at The Center for Survey Research, Academic Sinica, Taiwan.
2. For financial inclusion: Alex Preda, Professor in the Department of Sociology & Social Policy, Lingnan University, Hong Kong.
