This PhD Thesis Presentation Contest aims to promote these young scientists and in doing so contribute to increasing the visibility of Ukrainian PhD students in Germany and raising the profile of the German-Ukrainian academic collaboration. This Contest will offer the opportunity to PhD students to advance their presentation skills, learn to present complex scientific questions to a broader interested nonspecialist audience and network with other researchers from different fields. Successful candidates will be invited to present their research at the Final event on stage, and get a chance to win one of three prizes as well as add an extra award to their CVs.
This contest is organised for the first time in 2016 within the framework of the Forum “UkraineLab: Playing Polyphony of the Society. Exploring the European identity”. The Final will take place on Wednesday afternoon, September 21, 2016, in Berlin. Up to 10 finalists will be preselected by the Contest’s organising committee, based on the submitted applications.
