DocColloq offers an interdisciplinary program under the motto “By PhD candidates for PhD candidates”:
The regular Interdisciplinary Colloquium by PhD candidates for PhD candidates aims to give PhD candidates the opportunity to gain presentation experience in a protected space in which they can present their own dissertation project, present new papers or outlines of essays, try out presentations for conferences or practise their disputation.
From 2019 to 2024, an annual Interdisciplinary Graduate Conference at Trier University was organized by PhD candidates for PhD candidates, providing PhD candidates with a platform to engage in academic exchange across university and subject boundaries and, in particular, to gain expertise in event organization and academic communication. This offer is currently paused and will be resumed when an organizational team from the ranks of PhD candidates approaches the GUT.
