7th South East European Doctoral Student Conference
24 - 25 September 2012, Thessaloniki - Greece
Welcome Message
Dear Doctoral Students,
You are cordially invited to participate in the 7th Annual South East European Doctoral Student Conference (DSC2012) which will be held 24th and 25th of September 2012 at CITY College an International Faculty of the University of Sheffield, Thessaloniki, Greece.
Building on the success of the six previous Doctoral conferences which each attracted over 100 papers from countries all over the SE European region and beyond (UK, Greece, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Albania, Bulgaria, Romania, Sweden, Serbia, FYR of Macedonia, Belgium and as far as USA), we are pleased to announce the organisation of the 7th SEERC Doctoral conference.
The aim of the conference is to further facilitate the exchange of knowledge between young researchers and to consolidate the established network of scholars currently undertaking research in and around the topic of South East Europe. Doctoral students will have the opportunity to discuss their research on these topics with senior academics and to build relationships with other students from around the world. The Conference is open to young researchers currently undertaking doctoral study, or in the early years of their research career (up to 2 years following the award of their PhD degree). It has an inter-disciplinary focus and the themes and topics reflect the organisation of research by tracks of interest within SEERC.
Thessaloniki is a symbolic city in Europe with both a glorious history of 2400 years, and a cosmopolitan modern feel. Our target is to ensure that DSC2012 will provide to Doctoral Students both networking opportunities and a supportive venue for constructive peer review and critique of ongoing research output. We hope all the delegates will have a successful and educationally rich conference, and also the chance to enjoy our famous Greek hospitality for which our country is widely appreciated!
We are looking forward to warmly welcoming you all to the 7th Annual South East European Doctoral Student Conference.
Prof. Panayiotis H. KETIKIDIS
Chairperson of DSC2012
