New PhD Science Day

 

Our New PhD Science Day takes the place of the faculty open presentation (FÖP) and is held usually once per semester, towards the end of the lecture period.

 

Next New PhD Science Day

 

The next New PhD Science Day for the winter semester 2023/24 will be held on January 17, 2024. Generally, New PhD Science Days take place as hybrid meetings. 

To participate as a speaker, completion of your first thesis advisory committee meeting (prelim) is a prerequisite. To register as a speaker, please send an email to vds-mes.cmess@univie.ac.at with the following documents 1 month before the Science Day:

  • Exposé (reworked with the feedback you received from your committee in your prelim meeting)
  • Regulations relating to good scientific practice (SL/W1)
  • Registration of the doctoral thesis topic and announcement of the supervisor(s) (SL/D11)
  • if applicable: Approval of financial support of the doctoral thesis topic (SL/W4)

 

Please prepare a presentation of 15-20 minutes length that includes the following:

  • Short introduction to your topic for listeners not working directly in your field
  • Preliminary results and achievements (e.g. adapting existing methods to your own project counts as a result)
  • Future plans and experiments in your project
  • Impact that your project could have in the context of the doctoral school (exploring new theories, connecting research fields, ...) or for general society
  • Timeplan of your PhD (1 slide)
  • Funding sources (1 slide)

Ideally, preliminary results and future plans should take up about half of your presentation each.

 

A 10-15 minute discussion with your peers and the doctoral advisors will follow your presentation.
