Phd student seminar - Socio-economic geography and spatial managment 1600-SZD-SDOK-GSEiGP
The aim of the doctoral seminar is to prepare a doctoral dissertation by its participants. At the seminar, this is achieved, among others, by exchange of thoughts (asking questions and making comments) by the audience after successive meetings, during which subsequent participants report on their work progress. The topics of the next meetings are related to the doctoral dissertations prepared by the participants. Doctoral students prepare theses on their own (under the supervision of a tutor), and during the seminar they present the partial and final results of the research, subjecting themselves to the group's assessment. The group includes all SDNS doctoral students in the discipline of socio-economic geography and spatial management.
