Virtual Wednesday Workshops with the theme ‘The PhD in unprecedented times’ aims to support current PhD Scholars in their study progress during this challenging COVID-19 period. The workshops provide scholars an opportunity to present their research on an online interactive platform and receive constructive feedback from senior academics and fellow students. Along with PhD presentations, the workshops will feature senior academic presentations about PhD related topics based on the current situation.
