PhD Symposium

The PhD symposium will consist of two short talks by our guest panalists Johannes Mahr (York University, Canada) and Lucia Melloni (Ruhr University Bochum). They will give you insight into interdisciplinary research, differences between academic systems and the trials and tribulations of an academic career. The talks will be follwed by a panel discussion where you will be given the opportunity to decide on the direction of the conversation.

We will also arrange other activities so you can get to know your peers and their research.

Take advantage of this unique experience by signing up when you register for the main conference. The PhD symposium takes place on the morning of June 2nd 2025. Space is limited and will be assigned on a first come first serve basis.
