Our PhD Thesis Presentation Contest aims to promote young scientists and in doing so contribute to increasing the visibility of Ukrainian PhD students abroad and raising the profile of the international academic collaboration with Ukraine. This Contest offers the opportunity to PhD students to advance their presentation skills, learn to present complex scientific questions to a broader interested non-specialist audience and network with other researchers from different fields. Successful candidates will be invited to present their research at the Final event on stage. The travel (up to 200 EUR) and stay (up to 2 nights) will be supported by the Society. The finalists get a chance to win one of the three prizes:
1st place: EUR 300
2nd place: EUR 200
3rd place: EUR 100
The Final will be organized within the framework of the Days of Ukraine in Lower Saxony (11-12 September) and alongside the Annual meeting of the German-Ukrainian Academic Society.
Eligibility: We invite applications from PhD/MD students carrying out their research in any subject, from one or more of the following three groups:
- Ukrainian PhD students carrying out their research outside of Ukraine (incl. exchange PhD students);
- PhD students, regardless of nationality, who are involved in a collaborative (e.g. German-Ukrainian or multi-lateral, including Ukraine) research project;
- PhD students, regardless of nationality, whose topic of research relates to Ukraine.
This PhD Contest is organised by the German-Ukrainian Academic Society/ The UKRAINE Network and supported by Nomad Bioscience GmbH and the Embassy of Ukraine in Germany. This Contest was organised for the first time in 2016 (see the past winners).
