PhD Colloquium 2020 | Call for Papers

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for the colloquium organised on 9 June 2020 at the University of Nicosia (UNIC), in cooperation with the 8th International Symposium on Service-Learning (ISSL).

The colloquium seeks to provide the opportunity to doctoral students to present their work in progress, to engage with other doctoral students from different parts of the world, and to receive feedback from fellow students, but also from faculty members and visiting scholars. Students will be able to exchange knowledge, experiences, best practises, advice but also constructive feedback. The colloquium will also be an opportunity for students to expand their network with other students and experienced scholars, possibly kick-starting collaborations for publications. Faculty members from UNIC and from other Universities will also share their knowledge about doctoral research and potential academic careers and will be able to offer useful insights on how to complete a PhD in a successful way.
