Frequently asked questions

1. I am a Ph.D. student

What is the content of the Doctoral Colloquium?

The EURAM Doctoral Colloquium provides doctoral students with the opportunity to present their work to their peers and mentors, who are experienced supervisors and leading scholars in their field, and engage with one another in a setting that is relatively informal but that allows for meaningful and constructive scholarly exchanges. The aim of the Doctoral Colloquium is to contribute towards a transformative journey for doctoral students, who will not only receive feedback on their doctoral research but also learn about fundamentals of a doctoral journey including research methods related matters, publishing from a PhD and reviewing for journals, and obtain advice on academic career paths…

Can I pay a reduced registration fee?

Doctoral students can attend the conference at a reduced rate. Information about registration and the registration fees will be posted in early December.

Please note, when registering, you need to upload proof that you are a current Ph.D. student before completing your payment. Appropriate documentation should be a signed and dated in a letter from your supervisor using the letterhead of the institution or a dated student card (documents should be submitted in English. Student cards with characters other than Roman will be discarded, i.e., Chinese, Cyrillic, etc. characters). The conference team will approve your status within five working days. You will then be invited to complete your online payment. If you do not upload this documentation before completing your payment, you will be charged the full fee.

To attend the Doctoral Colloquium students must submit their paper to the Doctoral Colloquium before 17 January 2023 and receive a letter of acceptance (7 March 2023).

Abstracts and full papers are made available a few weeks before the conference to delegates only so that discussants and chairs can prepare their sessions. The Conference Programme Committee believes that this is important for research dissemination. However, if you oppose the publication of your paper and want to remove it after the notification, you can tick the NO PUBLISH button on the paper submission platform until the Authors registration deadline on 14 April 2023.

Can I choose what day/time to present my paper?

The task of building the conference programme is very complex and requires the collaboration of over 150 chairs. EURAM focuses on offering a programme with scientific coherence and whereby subjects debated overlap the least.

For this reason, we cannot take personal preferences into account. If you cannot attend the full conference from 09:00 (Wednesday 14 June 2023) until 18:00 (Friday 16 June 2023), please make sure that one of your co-authors has registered before 14 April 2023.

Rooms will be equipped with an overhead projector screen and a computer, with HDMI adapters. Authors are advised to bring their own computer.

How many people will be at my session?

Attendance varies from session to session. The organising team cannot influence this – various factors influence the popularity of sessions, including time of the session, topic of interest, other concurrent sessions, etc. However, due to safety measures the numbers are limited by room capacity.

Can I get a certificate for presenting my paper? What about my co-authors?

EURAM does not provide certificates for presenting a paper. Each registered author will be able to download a certificate of attendance after the conference.
