Discipline seminar - Economy and Finance (I year) 1600-SZD-SEM-EF
The purpose of the seminar is to analyze the research work of doctoral students that make up their dissertation. Doctoral students of the first year discuss the concept, research issues, research hypotheses and structure of the dissertation; doctoral students of the second and third years - the progress of their research work and present excerpts from the dissertation. Doctoral students of the 4th year summarize their dissertation by presenting the main research results, published articles, etc. The subject serves to integrate doctoral students, offers the opportunity to discuss the dissertation among doctoral students working in different branches of science, and enables cooperation among doctoral students. Participants will be encouraged to attend lectures by well-known researchers, which will allow them to familiarize themselves with modern standards of scientific work and presentation of scientific content.
