Welcome to the SEERC, the South-East European Research Centre, a Research Centre of the University of Sheffield and CITY Liberal Studies is organising a one-day PhD Conference that will take place in Thessaloniki on 22-23rd June 2007.

The aim of the conference is to initiate an exchange of knowledge between young researchers and to help establish a network of scholars currently undertaking research on South East Europe. Having identified academic isolation as a problem that many doctoral students face today, SEERC aims to bring researchers together for establishing collaborative links between disciplines, for testing the ground for innovative ideas and for engaging the wider academic community.

The Conference is open for participation to young researchers currently undertaking doctoral study, or in the early years of their research career (up to 2 years following the award of their PhD degree). There is no registration fee. All papers presented will be published in a volume of proceedings.
