The Interdisciplinary Doctoral School at Transilvania University of Brașov hosts the 2025 Doctoral Conference, to be held at the Sergiu T. Chiriacescu Aula on June 12-13, 2025.
The doctoral conference is intended to be a scientific forum for doctoral students to present their ongoing research, discuss their research questions, goals, methods, and results with colleagues and experts from among the university’s academics. The conference is open to all doctoral students, including those who are in the early stages of their doctoral work. Thus, the participants can opt for one of the following presentation types:
- a research paper (published or prepared for publication);
- a scientific report (as part of their doctoral programme);
- their doctoral research plan (for first-year students).
The language of the conference is English, but presentations in Romanian can be accepted where relevant.
The conference includes two plenary speeches offered by reputed scholars and two workshops. During the presentation sessions, constructive discussions will be encouraged for doctoral students to gain new insights and receive feedback on their research. At the same time, the conference aims at stimulating the exchange of ideas and experiences by enabling networking with peers, professors and researchers. Beyond the academic environment, the festive dinner is thought to be an opportunity to communicate informally and get to know better other doctoral students.
All presenters will receive certificates of participation and will have the opportunity to publish the presented research article (if not already published) in one of the IDB-indexed journal series of Bulletin of Transilvania University of Brașov.
No fee is required for any of the conference events.
