IX Symposium for Doctoral Students of the URV’s Doctoral Programme in Humanistic Studies, 11 and 12 May 2023
Introduction
The URV's Doctoral Programme in Humanistic Studies is organising the IX Symposium for Doctoral Students, which will take place at the URV's Catalunya Campus on 11-12 May 2023.
This symposium is open to doctoral students of other Spanish universities so as to create synergies between the different doctoral programmes and research lines in Humanities.
The symposium aims to provide doctoral students an opportunity to briefly present the process and the partial results of their research in the area of Humanities to the other participants. Thus, they learn about other students' research and, in this framework, they can share doubts and concerns of all kinds in relation to the writing of their doctoral theses.
The symposium is open to the general public, but it is of special interest for master's students as well as for undergraduate students in their final year.
People who wish to attend but who are not doctoral students must send an email message to phd.eh@urv.cat in order to be able to register. All attendants will receive a certificate.

The academic committee of the URV's Doctoral Programme in Humanistic Studies encourages all its doctoral students to present their research. Moreover, participants will be issued a certificate which can be included as an activity for the Document of Doctoral Student Activities.
