This three-day event brings together PhD students and earlystage researchers (i.e. up to 4 years after the PhD) from the ENGAGE.EU partner universities for stimulating intellectual exchanges and personal development and to benefit from the expertise embedded in the ENGAGE.EU network.
PhD research workshop
This event will bring together PhD students and post-doctoral researchers from the 9 partner universities. The aim is to deepen the discussion on research projects and to develop ideas in relation to the three societal themes which are at the core of the ENGAGE.EU alliance. To maximize the opportunities for feedback and networking, senior scholars from all partner universities will also be invited to the event.
Interested participants can apply to join and submit their work to one of the three interdisciplinary “thematic tracks”:
- Artificial intelligence and society
- Leading the green transition
- Inequalities and just mobility opportunities
The core activities during the workshop will be the presentations(20-30 minutes slots) by PhD
students and early-stage researchers of their own research work in relation to one of the three themes, followed by discussion and feedback from senior researchers and peers. Each participant will also be asked to make themselves available as discussant for at least one other paper. Senior discussants will also be invited to guide and connect the discussion to the wider context of the research theme.
In addition to working in small groups, there will also be plenary keynotes speakers and career development sessions that bring together workshop participants from all three tracks. Some of the career development sessions follow the format of “bring your own challenge” (e.g. how to respond to manuscript reviewers, how to build a productive relationship with your advisor or co-authors, how to manage access to data, among others) that allow for rich exchange on questions and issues relating to starting a research career.
