New this year! Students' Reciprocal Reviews
We are planning (apart from the student's presentation on her/his research, the reciprocal students' reviewing practice. Which means, that when we get and accept the abstract of the presentation (containing the subject, theoretical and methodological approach in which research is going to be grounded, methods of research, literature etc.) we will find similarities amongst students' areas of research interest and then send to each student a request to prepare a short comment on the other student's abstract. The comment can refer to any aspects (or all) mentioned in abstracts and they should be helpful to excel the student's work. The presentation of the comment will follow the student's presentation and will be the incentive for discussion focused on his/her presentation.
Please kindly send your abstract in time to .
