Doctoral Colloquium
A dedicated event for PhD students to present, discuss and receive feedback on their work-in-progress at the intersection of design and health.
About the Doctoral Colloquium
The doctoral colloquium offered a unique opportunity for PhD students to present their key concepts and ideas to a premier scientific audience and to receive high-quality feedback from external reviewers, a global scientific audience, and some of the best of their peers.
The colloquium provided PhD students the valuable opportunity to engage in in-depth discussion on their work and gain exposure to a variety of perspectives. These exchanges were intended to help strengthen and shape ongoing research as participants progressed towards their degrees. Lively discussions, novel insights and new opportunities for cooperation between research groups were also expected outcomes of participation.
PhD students and candidates were invited to present, discuss and defend their work-in-progress or preliminary results in the field of design for health. Students and candidates at all stages of the process were invited to submit a thesis position paper, though preference was given to those still 1 to 2 years away from completing their PhDs. Applicants at a stage where a substantial portion of the research had been completed, but where feedback could still meaningfully influence the remaining work, were prioritised.
Participants were expected to give short, informal presentations of their work during the colloquium, followed by a discussion.
