14th PhD Student Workshop 2026

14th PhD Student Workshop 2026

Date: May 26th

Time: 10:00 - 13:00

Location: Sala Aranyó - Poblenou Campus

The PhD Workshop is an annual event organized by the Department of Engineering to assess the progress of PhD candidates. This workshop provides PhD students with the opportunity to present their ongoing research, discuss their work with peers and senior researchers, and receive valuable feedback in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Poster sessions are an important part of the workshop, as they allow students to present their research in an informal setting, exchange ideas, and identify strengths and weaknesses in their work. 

All PhD students enrolled in the 2nd year of the programme are expected to participate.

Reasons to participate:

“Conference Poster sessions are quite useful to show your ongoing work and get valuable feedback. Nevertheless, stage fright is always an issue. The department poster session on the other hand allowed me to show my current work, flaws and all, to my peers. The feedback I got was nothing but particular, personal and sincere. I got the chance to reinforce the weak-spots in my arguments by exchanging ideas with my coworkers in a relaxed environment. You can only leave the session with a clearer vision for your PhD. Do not miss it.”

"I participated in the 4th ETIC PhD Student Workshop and it was a really valuable experience. I created a poster with preliminary research questions that I had in mind during my first year as a PhD student and it helped me to exchange ideas with other students and professors and to improve hypotheses and methods. In fact, I recently submitted a paper with some colleagues from another research group of the department that I first met at that workshop. Last but not least, my poster won the popular vote and, therefore, I received a travel grant that I spent on a summer school that was also very helpful in my PhD project and subsequent research career. Don't miss this great opportunity!"
