SGSSS Doctoral Symposium: Journeys and Discoveries in Doctoral Pathways…

Taking place in person at Dundee Contemporary Arts (DCA) on Friday 8 May, 10 am–5 pm, this is a full day designed by doctoral researchers, for doctoral researchers, open to all Social Science PGRs at Scottish universities, regardless of funding status.

The day will include poster presentations, creative sessions, interactive wellbeing sessions and an open forum, all built around the journeys we take as researchers and the discoveries we make along the way.

This is your opportunity to:

• Reflect on and share your experience of doctoral research: the highs, the lows, and everything in between
• Hear from researchers who have navigated PhD life and built careers beyond it
• Connect with social science doctoral researchers from across Scotland
• Share your work, gain feedback, and celebrate the journey of doctoral study

Fancy staying on? After the main programme, join us for an optional early evening social and drinks reception from 5 pm to 6 pm, a relaxed way to wind down and get to know your peers. Just tick ‘I would like to attend the evening event’ when you register.

Whether you are SGSSS-funded or not, you can claim expenses directly caused by attending this event (such as travel and childcare) through the SGSSS expenses portal. Further details of SGSSS’s expenses policy are available here.
