During the Doctoral Day, the Antwerp Doctoral School welcomes new PhD researchers, but also offers seminars that could be of interest for PhD researchers who've already started their PhD journey. All PhD researchers are expected to attend at least once over the course of their PhD.
The next ADS Doctoral Day will take place on Tuesday 11 March 2025, on-campus (Stadscampus, building R and building D) and online via Blackboard Collaborate.
Programme
You can find the programme here.
Before the lunch break, prof. dr. Maarten Weyn, Vice-Rector of Research and Impact, will join us for a short introduction.
Practical information:
- The sessions will take place in building R and building D of the Stadscampus.
- The programme includes parallel sessions in which you can choose a session of your interest. You can indicate the session of your choice on the registration form. When your registration is confirmed, you are expected to attend and it is not possible to switch to a different parallel session.
- The sessions will not be recorded.
