What is the DocColloq colloquium?

The DocColloq colloquium is an initiative by PhD candidates for PhD candidates at Trier University, which is supported by the Graduate Centre (GUT).

The aim of the colloquium is to give doctoral students the opportunity to present extracts from their research. In contrast to specialist conferences, the audience is interdisciplinary and is still at the beginning of their academic career, so the event offers you a protected space to present research projects and gain initial presentation and conference experience. You can use DocColloq to present your dissertation project, present new papers or outlines of articles, rehearse presentations for conferences or practise your disputation. It doesn't matter what stage of your doctorate you are in or what subject you are doing your doctorate in - DocColloq is open to all doctoral candidates at the university.

When does the DocColloq colloquium take place?

The DocColloq colloquium is organized by PhD candidates for PhD candidates. The colloquium is currently on hiatus. If you are a PhD candidate interested in helping organize future colloquium sessions, please contact GUT at gut@uni-trier.de
