The South-East European Research Centre, a Research Centre of the University of Sheffield and CITY College, is organising a two-day PhD Conference that will take place in Thessaloniki on 6-7 July 2009.
Building on the success of the three previous Doctoral Student Conferences of
2006,
2007, and
2008, which have been consistently
attracting more than 100 papers from countries in all of all South East Europe
and beyond (UK, France, Germany, Holland, Slovenia, Hungary, Poland and as far
as Ukraine), we are pleased to announce the organisation of DSC 2009.
The aim of the conference is to further facilitate the exchange of knowledge
between new researchers and to consolidate the established network of scholars
currently undertaking research in the region of South East Europe (and beyond).
Having identified academic isolation as a problem that many doctoral students
face today, the South East European Doctoral Student Conference 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 has an inter-disciplinary focus and is open for participation to
new researchers who are currently undertaking doctoral study or are in the
early years of their research career (up to 2 years following award of their PhD
degree).
