8th meeting of the PhD Network on the Third Sector and Civil Society
22 May 2008 - 25 May 2008
Lithuania
PhD Network Meeting 2008 is the third seminar mainly supported by CINEFOGO and ERSTE Foundation.
Started in 2001 the European PhD Network on the Third Sector and Civil Society has developed into a highly respected institution of the European academic community focusing on the third sector and civil society. The aim of the meeting is to bring together PhD students doing research on the Third sector and civil society. Up to now there have enthusiastically participated approx. 350 PhD students from more than 20 European countries. In 2007 the annual seminar was organised in Muenster after meetings in Vienna (2006), Rolduc (2005), Stockholm (2004), Dublin (2003) and Windsor (2002 and 2001).
Every PhD student is supposed to hand in an abstract on their research (300-500 words) and make a short presentation (approx. 15 min.) about his/her thesis. Every presentation is discussed in working groups of 6-7 students, facilitated by both a senior researcher and a recently graduated PhD student (usually one who attended the network in previous years). As the experience indicates, the brainstorming and reflective comments of facilitators and other PhD students help the student to have a fresh look to his/her research as well as find new horizons for research implementation. Meetings involve both regular participants and newcomers.
