GS EBGo Doctoral Seminars

GS EBGo Doctoral Seminars provide an opportunity for PhDs to present their research work and receive feedback from the peers and senior researchers. The Ph.D. student presentation (20-25 minutes) is accompanied by a presentation by a discussant (5-10 minutes) and a general discussion. It is compulsory to present at least once a year for all Ph.D. students starting from the second year of their doctorate.
