BRIDGING THE GAP
Presenting – Connecting – Networking – Collaborating
Planning is fully underway for this year’s Doctoral College Conference! This unique flagship event is organised by and specifically for PGRs and ECRs -- and that means YOU!
The theme for this year’s conference is Bridging the Gap, and so will focus on research that
- fills the knowledge gap by pushing boundaries, shifting paradigm and challenging perceptions
- connects theory and practice in creative and innovative ways
- bridges the divide between disciplines in thought-provoking explorations
- fosters partnership through networking and collaboration
- reaches out to inform, shape and influence the world beyond academia
But, the conference will be about more than just the showcasing of research. It will also be about connecting researchers, fields of study, disciplines and research strategies -- formally through themed presentations, and informally during supporting events.
There will be a lively interactive networking session hosted by the Institute of Directors, a wine reception for more relaxed conversations, and the Networking Dinner, enlivened by another entertaining performance from The Bright Club.
New to the programme this year are workshops aimed at bridging the gap between first and final years of the PhD program and another looking at bridging the gap between completing the PhD and world that lies beyond it.
There are many ways you can be part of this exciting event. You can
- Attend the conference to hear, share, connect and network
- Submit a proposal for an oral or poster presentation
- Participate in the Elevator Pitch Competition
- Take part in the Bright Club performance
- Volunteer your skills and talents to the committee
- All of the above!
We’d love you to join us
