The day before the 2011 Congress will be devoted to two separate events as described in the previous page. In the PhD Students’ Day special attention will be given to PhD thesis, focusing on the different phases of doctoral research. There will be spaces/times for dialogues, presentations and debates, including the participation of Senior Researchers that will discuss parts of PhD students’ work and provide some suggestions. For instance, the opportunity of discussing data analysis will be given to doctoral students who have already collected their empirical data. There are also four parallel sessions, in small groups, for instance about:

1. Writing doctoral thesis problems and "solutions"
2. How to publish successfully

This PhD Students’ Day is the first organized by ISCAR. The PhD students are invited to develop further suggestions for the next PhD Students’ Day (in 2014), and to send us some feedback after the Rome 2011 event. We hope that all those who will participate will be deeply engaged in this process and will participate actively in the sessions.

Below there is the PhD Students’ Day Schedule.
Proposals must be submitted until the 04 September 2010. Three types of proposals will be accepted: posters, papers and PhD thesis dialogues (see more information on Proposal Submission for the PhD Students’ Day).

At least 8 Senior Researchers will be invited to chair the various sessions and participate in the PhD Dialogues. Their names will be announced soon.
