Presentation Event for Doctoral Projects
Friday, 17th January, 2025, approx. 09:00 to 15:30
The presentation event offers the opportunity to present your own doctoral project, discuss it with other doctoral candidates and get to know fellow doctoral candidates and their doctoral projects.
Who is invited to participate?
Doctoral projects at all stages should be presented and discussed. Therefore, those who are still at the beginning or in the planning stage of their research project are just as welcome to present their project as those who have already started or would like to present results of their dissertation.
Presentations in English are just as welcome as presentations in German.
How can you participate?
Each project is allocated a 20-minute slot.
During these 20 minutes, you will present your research project in a 10-15 minute lightning talk. The lightning talk should present your research question, the method and, if applicable, the first results of your research project or a particularly exciting problem of your work in a concise form which can also be understood by non-specialists.
There will then be an opportunity for questions and a brief discussion. Depending on the length of your presentation, 5-10 minutes are reserved for the discussion.
The program:
The final lecture program will be arranged according to your specific doctoral projects.
The lunch break is organized as a “Doctoral Candidates’ Lunch”:
Over a small snack, participants will have the opportunity to discuss with Jutta Stahl in an informal setting current topics and concerns in the (not subject-specific) context of doing a doctorate at the Faculty of Human Sciences.
All participants are therefore asked to submit an abstract of their doctoral project of no more than one page together with their registration, but no later than 02.01.2025, to Graduiertenschule-HF@uni-koeln.de.
If you already have a question, a topic or a concern about your doctorate that you would like to have discussed at the Doctoral Candidates’ Lunch, we would also be happy to receive a short note with your registration.
The definite program will be announced after the end of the registration period.
