The Cyprus Rectors’ Conference has announced a Call for Abstracts for the 3rd Doctoral Colloquium taking place on Saturday, April 13, 2024, at the University of Cyprus. The Colloquium provides an opportunity for doctoral students to present their work in progress, engage with other doctoral students, and receive feedback from fellow students, as well as from faculty members and visiting scholars.

Students will be able to exchange knowledge, experiences, best practices, advice and constructive feedback. The Colloquium will facilitate students to expand their network with other students and experienced scholars and to possibly kick-start collaborations for publications. In addition, University faculty members can share their knowledge on doctoral research and offer useful insights on successfully completing a PhD.

The Colloquium will take place at the University of Cyprus and participation is free.

Doctoral students may submit their abstract in Greek or English. Authors with an accepted abstract will be presenting their research through a fifteen-minute-presentation, in the same language as their submitted abstract.

The 3rd Doctoral Colloquium provides an excellent platform for PhD students to present their research findings and engage in the exchange of scientific ideas with peers and academic faculty from all universities in Cyprus. Scientific success is based on scientific findings but also rests on the ability and motivation of researchers in presenting and disseminating these findings in their chosen field of expertise. Receiving feedback on scientific work as well as creating and expanding collaborations are also paramount for success.

If you are a PhD student, you are strongly encouraged to participate in this event which can enrich your academic and professional skills and further fuel your passion for making significant contributions to research and, in extent, to society.
