PhD symposium 2016-2017

Aerospace Engineering PhD Symposium

Thursday 19th January 2017

In January 2017 the Graduate School of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering (GSAE) will organise the first PhD Symposium. The aim of this event is to promote the visibility of the PhD research at faculty level, communicate our research on a  nterdisciplinairy level, foster the exchange of information and strengthen the PhD community as a group.

Therefore the Faculty Graduate School offers the opportunity to all our PhD candidates to present their research project through a 15 minutes presentation. It is strongly encouraged that the presentations are given such that they can spark discussions and might lead to cooperations with other PhDs or researchers.

*In case you are prevented from participating, please inform the Graduate School Director, Prof. Dick Simons, by e-mail with a valid reason.

In preparation towards the symposium you need to submit an abstract subject to the following conditions:

• 1/4 page abstract describing the topic

• Deadline: Monday 31st October, submit to your PhD-council representative

To ensure that all presentations meet the same requirements we ask you to commit to the following aspects:

  *PhD research topic including findings so far (first year PhDs: this can also be a summary of your literature research)
• Prepare for a 5 minutes ‘Question & Answer’ session
• Use of props and audiovisuals to support the intended message is allowed
• Limit the number of slides to a maxiumum of 10

Interdisciplinary parallel sessions will be formed and the best presentation per session will be awared with a price. Of course, there is a free lunch for all participants. Moreover all presenters will receive 1 GS point. Further details will be distributed within the next comings weeks.
