Doctoral Colloquium ‘The Old and the New’

ETF’s annual doctoral colloquium is an essential part of our PhD program. Students meet their fellow students and professors, prepare for exams and present their research. ETF professors and internationally recognized visiting scholars give public lectures and public defenses of dissertations take place.

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the colloquium will be organized online again this year and it will be a lighter version than usual with focus on the most essential elements including student presentations, doctoral exams and farewell lectures. This year no PhD defenses are planned during the colloquium.

The farewell lectures are public events and we warmly welcome you to follow one or more online. A limited amount of guests will be invited to attend the lectures on campus. You can find the live streams via the URLs below.
