Call for Early-Stage Research Presentations

In this workshop, female doctoral candidates present their research ideas or projects at an early stage ("Early-Stage Research") and receive feedback from accomplished female researchers and other participants. Prof. Nicole Branger (University of Muenster), Prof. Christine Laudenbach (Goethe University), and Prof. Alexandra Niessen-Ruenzi (University of Mannheim) will lead this year’s workshop.

The aim is to provide PhD students with the opportunity to present and discuss ideas that are not yet mature enough for submission to this year’s main conference, with the hope that these ideas will develop into full research papers.

Young female researchers are invited to submit a short abstract, between half a page and one page, by August 31st. Submissions should be in PDF format and sent to annabelle.broestl@uni.mannheim.de. Abstract submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis.

We look forward to welcoming you in Aachen!
