Presentation

These conferences aim to facilitate mutual understanding among doctoral students and disseminate their research activity. A maximum of 10 doctoral students from each G9 university will attend, with 2 doctoral students from each of the 5 branches of knowledge. Each university will select and register the 10 doctoral students who will represent it. Those selected will have their living expenses covered by the organising institution. Travel, accommodation and poster printing costs will be covered by each participating university.

Selection criteria

In the event that there are more applicants than places available, the selection of candidates will be based on the quality of the poster, particularly its clarity, communicative power, originality of approach and layout and composition. Preference will be given to individuals who are in an advanced academic tutoring course and who have not attended any similar doctoral conferences in previous years (G-9, Campus Iberus, or others).
