This workshop provides an enjoyable opportunity for doctoral students to interact with and learn from fellow students and
top scholars in our field. It also provides a springboard for successful academic careers by examining important issues such
as publishing, reviewing, and collaborative research, among others. Furthermore, the workshop enables participants to approach
their doctoral dissertations with renewed vigor by engaging in discussions on research design and novel methodologies with
renowned scholars, and by reviewing their dissertation proposals with the help of others – fellow participants and senior
scholars who work in the respective area of interest. Finally, through the mix of European and other international students
as well as faculty members, participants gain exposure to similarities and differences across countries and continents in
how academic processes work. This also enhances their understanding with regard to different career opportunities and career
paths.
Please note:
This workshop is organized in parallel tracks, depending on the progress of participants in their doctoral studies (Track
A: advanced PhD students; Track B: early PhD students). Detailed instructions will be communicated via email.
