DOCTORAL FORUM

Aim
The Doctoral Forum is an offer and an invitation to doctoral students to present their research projects to senior researchers and to their colleagues, and in return receive constructive feedback. The primary objective of the Doctoral Forum is to provide doctoral students with a forum to present and discuss their research projects with senior researchers and fellow students and to develop their relationships with other scientists.

The Doctoral Forum is a one-day event that takes place prior to ISSI 2005 conference. Students are to give a 15-20 minutes presentation of their research project. Each presentation is followed by 15-20 minutes of discussion.

We recommend that student participation and presentation of research project at the Doctoral Forum are credited 3 ECTS by their home department.

We also recommend that doctoral students register for the ISSI 2005 main conference.
