PhD and Early Career Researchers Day

There are two main activities planned for PhD and Early Career Researchers Day.

Keynote Speeches

  • Tijmen Schipper and Pauline Mangulabnan will be sharing their journey on a long and winding road towards a PhD, from two perspectives: early career researcher and PhD student.
  • This session is a shared session for participants from all time zones

Group Work

  • Participants will work in small groups to discuss the methodological issues they are facing in their research.
  • The topic discussed in each group is based on the interest indicated by the participant via the questionnaire during the registration.
  • Each group will be facilitated by an invited expert.
  • There will be two sessions, and participants will be assigned to either group based on their time zones.
