European Doctoral Symposium "Literary and Cultural Studies" These international symposia take place twice a year, alternating between Giessen, the Finnish Graduate School, and the universities of Stockholm, Bergamo, Lisbon, Graz, and Warwick. At these symposia, doctoral researchers present and discuss their projects with their supervisors and fellow doctoral researchers from similar research areas. International Conferences During the cycles of the PhDnet, international conferences are organised at some of the partner institutions. These conferences’ thematic foci are based on the participants’ research profiles as well as on the PhDnet modules. Workshops and Master Classes In order to support the doctoral researchers’ academic integration outside of the seven institutions involved, visiting researchers whose research is relevant to the participants’ projects are invited to give lectures, master classes or workshops within the PhDnet. These events are again designed in line with PhDnet modules or touch upon issues dealt with in various modules. |
