On 7 October, the Central European Academy hosted a PhD Thesis Workshop, which gave fourth-year doctoral students the opportunity to practice defending their dissertation research. The workshop simulated a real thesis writing process, allowing our candidates to gain experience in presenting their work, responding to critics and dealing with peer reviewers' questions. During the workshop, PhD students gave presentations summarising their research findings and key hypotheses. Their peers then provided constructive feedback and asked questions about their research. The PhD students had the opportunity to answer these questions and demonstrate their ability to defend their research.The workshop culminated in an open Q&A session where the PhD candidates answered questions from the audience. This experience helped to prepare our doctoral candidates for the challenges they will face during the formal examinations in the 2024/2025 academic year.
*The event is private and by invitation only.
