X Symposium for Doctoral Students of the URV’s Doctoral Programme in Humanistic Studies, 23 and 24 May 2024
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 23-24 May 2024.
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. This way, they learn about other students' research and, in this context, 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 last year.
Interested attendees who are not doctoral students should contact directly to register via the program's email, phd.eh(ELIMINAR)@urv.cat. All attendees will receive a certificate.
You can consult the programme of the X Symposium for Doctoral Students here.
The academic committee of the URV's Doctoral Programme in Humanistic Studies encourages all its doctoral students to present their research. Note that participants will be issued a certificate which can be included as an activity in the Doctoral Student Activities Document.
