The conference will start with a plenary session: Doctoral thesis: test of competence or life's work?, by Professor Marijke Malsch, Open University.

After that, there will be two rounds of two parallel thematic workshops. You can find the details on the workshops, and an overview of the workshop leaders and workshop panel members here:

The workshop leader will start with a short introduction about the topic and introduce a few propositions. These propositions will be discussed with the co-panellists (senior and early-career researchers), followed by an open discussion and questions from the audience.


In the closing panel, Directors of the Graduate Schools, Vice deans of Research and PhD researchers will reflect on the outcome from the workshops and discuss about how to further stimulate healthy PhD culture. The findings of the conference will be shared afterwards with all attendees, the boards and policy advisors of the Dutch Law Schools. For an overview of the members of the closing panel, see below.


The conference will be in English, but two of the four workshops will be in Dutch. The conference will take place on the campus of the Erasmus University Rotterdam. However, a live stream will also be available. You can register on this page or by sending an email to egsl@law.eur.nl. You can also use this mail address for more information.
