There are two types of PhD seminars:
- One has a thematic part as an introduction to discussion and experience sharing among the participants (1 hour) and a workshop section (30 minutes)
- The other is a workshop (2-3 papers, 1-1,5 hours). In the workshop sessions the participants will present their work and receive feedback from the other seminar participants. You will all be opponents on other participants papers
The PhD seminar is intended to provide you with:
- insight into practical skills needed as a researcher
- tools to secure progression in your PhD work, stimulate the writing process and tools for handling media communication
- knowledge of criteria that form the basis of peer review of papers and assessment of project applications
- tools to help you reflect on your own practice as a researcher, supervisor, communicator and affiliate of academic networks
- tools for assessing peer presentations and for giving constructive feedback
The PhD seminar is reserved for students who have been admitted to the PhD programme at the Department of Political Science.
