At the doctoral congress our students will present their ongoing research to the scientific community of the institute and to research collaborators. PhD students are required to present one planning talk (i.e., discussing proposed studies), one poster (i.e., discussing ongoing projects) and one final talk (i.e., discussing the outcome of their PhD work) to complete the PhD program. The doctoral congress is financially supported by the dean of the faculty, and it is a good place for socializing and networking.
We are excited to announce the doctoral congress for the summer-term. The meeting will be held on November the 22nd in HS 02.21, Universitätsplatz 2,2nd floor and is jointly organized by the doctoral school and the health psychology team.
As part of this congress, we are also celebrating the 130th anniversary of the Institute of Psychology, which was founded in autumn 1894 by Alexius Meinong as the Graz Psychological Laboratory. Accordingly, we also want to organise a small anniversary celebration with a historical keynote speech by Prof. Dr Mauro Antonelli from the University of Milan as part of the doctoral congress.
- Planning Talk: (12 minutes talk, 10 minutes discussion): Short introduction / derivation of the research question from the literature, preliminary experimental design, hypotheses + justification, planned operationalization.
- Poster: Status report (A0, plus handout including 3 questions for discussion): Planned data analysis, first results, outlook at continuation or follow-up study. Please personally invite professors whose input you particularly desire to discuss your poster with you.
