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 is planned to be organized in Hannover on Thursday 29 September 2022. This event will take place within the framework of the Days of Ukraine in Lower Saxony (29-30 September 2022), organized in cooperation with the Leibniz Universität Hannover 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 and those who had to flee Ukraine due to russian war against Ukraine);
- 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.
For more information, please read carefully the FAQs.
This PhD Contest is organized since 2016 by The German-Ukrainian Academic Society/ UKRAINET and supported by Nomad Bioscience GmbH and the Embassy of Ukraine in Germany (see the past finalists and winners as well as last year’s final).
Please note: We are currently planning our meeting, including the PhD Contest Final, in the presence-format. Should conditions change, we intend to consider carrying out this event in a digital format. The finalists will be informed accordingly (we expect to be able to take this decision by the end of July).
