At our Summer Symposium 2015, the 2nd Cohort of PhD students will present their research projects in very short talks (max 15 mins), and PI’s, faculty as well as invited guests will comment their progress. The purpose of the symposium is similar to a dissertation prospectus: to give the students a chance to receive feedback on their dissertation outlines from a variety of different researchers. It is probably the last time that students can present their outline at the graduate school before they enter their fieldwork phase.
Afterwards, we will have an informal Summer Party with drinks and possibly a BBQ at GEAS; bring food and the occasional drink if you'd like to stay a bit longer.
