Presentation and discussion of research projects.

Guided discussion of research processes and outcomes.

The contact with other researchers fosters a climate that facilitates the reflection about their own work and how it stands in the field of research.

The discussion of research projects, including a conceptual, methodological or results perspective, allows the student to build a broader perspective of their own doctoral work and develop critical thinking skills on the how-to-do of the research process.
