is a mini-conference designed to provide a platform for PhD students to present their research projects and/or research proposals. The event fosters academic exchange, offering participants the opportunity to receive valuable feedback from peers and to expand their professional network within the Doctoral School.

DocDays brings together PhD students, PostDocs, and Professors, creating an engaging environment for discussion, collaboration, and knowledge sharing across disciplines in technical and natural sciences.
 

Participation and Requirements

According to the Curriculum for the Doctoral Programme in Technical or Natural Sciences, all PhD students are required to publicly present their research proposal and work plan during the first year of their doctoral studies. This mandatory presentation will take place during DocDays VT.

Participation in DocDays is therefore strongly recommended for all PhD students, ideally through active contribution.
