New PhD Science Day

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.
