Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This research colloquium welcomes all doctoral candidates working on "European" or EU topics, in a very broad sense. This includes e.g. politics and policies of the European Union and other international organisations (such as e.g. the Council of Europe), problems cutting across states, and comparative studies of member state(s) institutions or policies.
As with all research colloquia, key elements are the presentation of the individual research projects, debates with the peer group, and feedback. This seminar offers input and help regarding your research design, i.e. how to optimize research questions and combine them with relevant theories, methods and operationalisation. Further issues shall be practical aspects of organising your study, time management, how to present your preliminary and final findings, and latest publications in the field. Getting to know colleagues working on related issues will support your work and teamwork will be promoted where desired and adequate. Your motivation can be increased and your progress accelerated by attending this seminar and the additional networking it provides.
The seminar will offer a space for in-depth exchange regarding all questions possibly coming up at the PhD drafting stage, technical ones as much as psychological and other issues.
