The Doctoral Day event is yearly organized by the Faculty of Business and Economics in co-operation with the Executive PhD programme of the Antwerp Management School. We invite PhD students, as well as their research supervisors and interested PhD researchers.

This scientific gathering offers PhD students a platform to present their doctoral work and receive comments from a discussant. The Doctoral Day is also meant to offer opportunities to 'meet and greet' and exchange ideas with fellow students, faculty, and professors. Finally, the annual Doctoral Day wants to contribute to the visibility of the growing research environment of the Faculty of Business and Economics. 

Amongst the submitted papers, the Best Paper Award Committee selects three papers that will be presented during the Doctoral Day, after which the Committee decides who receives the Best Paper Award.

The 16th edition of the FBE Doctoral Day will take place 20 October 2025 at the Cloister of the Grauwzusters. Registrations will open in July. For more information, contact phd.fbe@uantwerpen.be

We will welcome you at the Cloister of the Grauwzusters.
