PhD Seminar

Doctoral Workshops: Basic Information

The aim of the workshop is to guide current PhD candidates through their initial years of doctoral training by providing institutional information, advice for PhD and post-PhD professional life, exercises in academic writing and publishing, conference and job presentations, and more.

The workshop implements CRIS’ internationalization strategy by enabling PhD candidates to prepare their academic work for presentation and publication at international conferences and in international journals and outlets.

The collective training provided by the workshop should be seen as complementary to individual and small-group training activities related to the specific theoretical and methodological approaches taken by individual PhD candidates within their projects.

The workshop is split into a seminar-oriented semester, during which general information and skills relevant to academic research and careers are transferred. The second semester is organized around workshop sessions where attendees actively comment and support each other during pre-submission writing, revise and resubmission, and presentations.

The seminar takes place on the every second Tuesday of each month from 11:00 – 12:30.
