Support in the work on the dissertation
1. Doctoral Colloquium 1, 2 and 3:
Doctoral colloquium 1 is used to present the exposé and receive extensive feedback. Typically, you present twice a semester. In doctoral colloquium 2 and 3, you present your own research work. These can be finished working papers, but also smaller papers and preliminary work. The aim is to receive comprehensive feedback in a collegial and constructive atmosphere. The doctoral colloquium is basically designed to facilitate a lively scientific exchange between doctoral students and faculty members. It is desired that doctoral students (after completing DQ1, 2 and 3) continue to participate in the DQ throughout the course of their doctorate even without official registration.
2. Economics Research Seminar
A total of three research seminars must be completed, whereby the doctoral students are expected to participate regularly and contribute to the discussion. Furthermore, summaries of the presentations must be prepared, which will also be assessed. As the research seminar is part of the research philosophy at the Department of Economics, it is recommended that you continue to participate regularly in the research seminar even after completing them (without official registration).

3. Presentation of the paper at international conferences:
The presentation is recommended and supported by the Doctoral School which also supports applications for funding.
4. Supervision meetings:
Doctoral students are expected to take advantage of regular supervision meetings. A supervision meeting (supervisor - doctoral candidate) must be formally conducted and documented at least once per semester. The meeting is based on texts that are submitted in writing by the student to the supervisor at least two working days in advance. The content and outcome of the interview must be documented in an implementation protocol.
