Postgraduate Students' Conference

Conference for PhD students studying German History at a UK/Irish university from the middle ages through to contemporary. Especially suitable for 2nd year PhD Students to assist using research facilities and obtaining grants.

The German Historical Institute London will hold its 15th postgraduate students' conference on 13 and 14 January 2011. Its intention is to give postgraduate research students in the UK and Ireland working on German history an opportunity to present their work-in-progress, and to discuss it with other students working in the same field. The Institute also aims to present itself as a research centre for German history in London, and to introduce postgraduates to the facilities it offers as well as to the Institute's Research Fellows.

Please note that all 2nd and 3rd year students are encouraged to present a paper on their PhD project.
