What is the Doctoral Colloquium

The EURAM Doctoral Colloquium (DC) is one of the most established and high-profile events in the academic community, aligned with our key values for engaged and inclusive scholarship. This two-day programme is one of our flagship events preceding the EURAM annual conference every year. If you are a second or higher year doctoral student, it is an opportunity to become part of a highly motivated international community of like-minded young researchers and to meet the leading scholars in your field. You will also be able to join the conference at a reduced rate for PhD students. Finally, the DC provides opportunities to network during social events as well, which is crucial for academic career development.

        Participant in 2022 event:
        The EURAM PHD Colloquium was a great experience! Through the intensive exchange with peers and mentors, I was able to reduce my uncertainties, adopt new perspectives, and reflect constructively on my research work. Getting to know PhD students from all over the world was a tremendous enrichment. I felt part of a powerful group committed to develop a sustainable management. The nomination and the subsequent third prize for the best paper was also a huge motivation to complete the dissertation.

        I already participated last year and, not only I came again this year, I’ve recommended it to several colleagues from my university and PhD candidates I've met in other conferences. It's been an extremely helpful opportunity to improve my research and meet other PhD candidates and senior researchers. So, if you are considering attending, don’t hesitate and go for it! It’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss!

        Participant in 2022 event:
        The EURAM Doctoral Colloquium has been an incredible experience. It provided me the opportunity to share my research, to discuss with other peers about my work and their own, and finally, to receive very valuable feedback from experienced mentors, on what we can do to improve the quality of our research. It has definitely been one of the highlights in my PhD journey, in which I have also been able to meet great people. The mentoring sessions were fantastic, as the students could very openly discuss about our successes, challenges, and struggles, receive advice, and come up with new strategies as a way forward in our research. Participating in the EURAM Doctoral Colloquium is an experience I would definitely recommend to every PhD researcher.

        Participant in 2022 event:
        There is no way that I could have imagined the effectiveness of the Doctoral Colloquium on my perception as a Doctoral Student until I attended the DC in person. This year in Winterthur, Switzerland the event that was organized seemed like a well-oiled wheel which constant turned in the direction of my imagination and enabled my motivation to traverse new boundaries. For me, the DC served as an outstanding forum which enabled me to compare and evaluate my progress in the PhD while also learning about the potential pitfalls associated with crucial decisions in the advanced stages of my career as a Doctoral student. I would certainly be inclined to patronize similar EURAM events in the future.

EURAM DC is an amazing opportunity to meet a lot of great people and exchange experiences in many fields, as well as knowledge sharing.
