Doctoral Conference: An Important Step Towards the Dissertation
Thirteen doctoral students presented their work at this year's doctoral conference, an important platform where doctoral students present their research questions and receive invaluable input from the institution's researchers.
The conference is an opportunity for doctoral students from various years at the Department of Economics to share their ongoing projects and gain valuable insights from colleagues and researchers regarding their research. It is also a great opportunity to learn more about other students' projects.
For Andreea Mitrut, Professor of economics and Director of Postgraduate studies at the department, it is an opportunity for senior researchers to learn more about the doctoral students' work while also helping to develop the students.
“It is a chance for them to get used to structuring and presenting their work to a larger and less specialized audience,” says Andreea Mitrut.
