PhD Discussion 2024

An informal event connecting PhD students and supervisors

19 June 2024, Vienna, Austria

Are you:
- doing a doctorate in information design right now?
- thinking about it?
- supervising or examining doctoral students?

We’re holding a meet-up for you just the day before the VP Conference.
There will be informal dialogues around the PhD in information design to find direction, reflect on activities, and discuss suggestions. The conversations will continue during dinner and drinks afterwards. There will be some experienced supervisors and examiners to talk to, as well as fellow doctoral students.

Location

designforum Wien. Quartier 21, MQ (Museumsquartier). Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien

Programme

We’ll start at 15:00 (3PM). A provisional programme:

  • Introductions: 1 minute each to mention topics, worries, challenges. [For students, supervisors, examiners - and for those who are thinking about these roles.]

  • One-on-one meetings: Probably 15 minutes or so to meet and talk. 3 or 4 of these?

  • A ‘forum/round table’ discussion: benefits, risks, is it all worth it? Inclusive of ‘most courageous questions’ & ‘practical advice’?
    + ideas for financial funding.

  • Drinks & may be a shared dinner.

Please reach out to us at research.education@iiid.net if you have any questions.
