Building on the success of the three previous Doctoral Student Conferences of 2006, 2007, and 2008, which attracted a great number of papers from countries in all of South East Europe and beyond (UK, France, Germany, Holland, Slovenia, Hungary, Poland and as far as Ukraine), SEERC is pleased to announce the organisation of the 4th Annual South East European Doctoral Student Conference (DSC 2009). The DSC 2009 conference will be held in Thessaloniki, Greece, on the 6th and 7th of July, 2009.
The aim of the conference is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge between young 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.
Conference Topics:
The conference has an inter-disciplinary focus and is open for participation to young 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). The topics of interest are organised under four broad research tracks. For specific themes under each research track please visit the DSC 2009 conference web site.
- Research Track 1: Enterprise, Innovation and Development
- Research Track 2: Information & Communication Technologies
- Research Track 3: Governance, Politics and Society
- Research Track 4: Risk, Cognition and Well being
