The aims of the Doctoral Programme are the following:
- To provide a forum for Ph.D. students to present their current research, and receive feedback from other students and senior researchers
- To promote contacts among Ph.D. students and senior researchers working in the same area
- To exchange research experience
- To support Ph.D. students with information and advice on academic, research and industrial careers
- To financially support its participants.
The programme will consist of students' presentations and/or posters, and tutorials given by senior researchers in the field. In addition, each student will be matched to a mentor who is a senior researcher with similar research interests and who can advise the student on his/her research progress.
