ECON9050 – PhD Workshop: Mid-term evaluation
Course content
Each year the Department of Economics arranges a workshop for PhD candidates and their supervisors, where candidates in the 3rd semester of the program will present their own work. This works as a mid-term evaluation in accordance with the PhD Regulations §4 on Quality Assurance.
Learning outcome
The purpose of the workshop is to encourage the candidates to an early start on their dissertation, and to ensure that candidates receive training in presenting the material to a wider audience. Attendance is compulsory for candidates on the third semester and their supervisors, but also other PhD candidates and other members of the staff are encouraged to attend.
Admission to the course
PhD candidates who have been admitted to the programme at the Department of Economics.
Teaching
The workshop takes place during one day. Each candidate will be given 30 minutes to present an article. The work will be commented on by 2-4 invited opponents, and there will then be an opportunity for comments/questions.
Examination
The following must be submitted within approximately two weeks before the workshop (further information will be provided):
- A written draft of the article is to be presented.
- A declaration from the candidate that all necessary licenses, permits and recommendations related to the research project have been obtained.
