Digital Networking Event 2021

June 25, 2021 | 10.30 am

  
Network conferences at the Graduate School Practices of Literature (GSPoL) are meant to promote the exchange between members, alumni, professors, students, advisory board members, and the interested public. This year's online conference provides fascinating insights into current research projects and career paths of our doctoral students and alumni. Moreover, we will use new formats and platforms such as research pitches, presentations, and discussion groups on Zoom and Wonder.

The day begins with research pitches by our doctoral candidates: each three-minute presentation will give a comprehensible and entertaining insight into a PhD project. In the afternoon, we look forward to four presentations on individual career paths in academia as well as in research management and cultural management. Both the pitches and the reports will begin on Zoom and be followed by an opportunity for further discussion and exchange on Zoom or Wonder.

Zoom details will be provided automatically upon registration via these links:
