PhD Research Seminars aim to involve PhD researchers and Faculty members more systematically in the PhD programme beyond their supervisory roles, promoting cross-disciplinary feedback and connections among different research lines within the Department. These voluntary seminars, held monthly and lasting up to 90 minutes, provide a more informal setting for presenting work-in-progress, primarily for second and third-year students, though first and final-year students are also invited.

Each session includes one presentation, with one PhD student acting as a discussant to reinforce peer connections. Faculty members related to the session's topic will also be invited to participate as discussants. A week before each seminar, presenters should share their work with the discussant and coordinator, focusing the session on discussion rather than presentation. Coordinated by a faculty member, who manages scheduling, material distribution, and session moderation, the seminars offer sandwiches and drinks as an attendance incentive.

Coordinator: Dr. Marc Sanjaume 

Presentations: programme for academic year 2024-25
