Doctoral College Conference

Invitation to International PhD Students

The University of Surrey is inviting PhD/Doctoral students from selected universities that are part of
the Santander Universities network to apply to attend the University’s Doctoral College Conference.
The Conference will take place on 9th and 10th July at the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.
The Conference theme is Bridging the Gap. The event will showcase the many ways in which PhD
students are breaking new ground with their research. This could be by challenging a previous
research paradigm, trialling a new methodology, or exploring a new subject area. The conference
will also consider the potential for ground breaking interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
approaches.

With the generous support of Santander Universities up to 12 places are available for international
PhD students to attend the Conference and present a poster or deliver an oral presentation. The
Conference and all presentations will be delivered in English and so all participants are expected to
have good proficiency in English and be able to engage fully in academic discussions.
Travel and accommodation (expected to be in university residences) expenses will be covered by the
University of Surrey for each recipient. Accommodation will be provided from 6th – 11th July to
allow participants time to explore the potential for establishing academic connections with students
and staff at the University of Surrey. Participants will be responsible for all other expenses including
food and insurance, and for making their own visa arrangements (where applicable).
To apply you will need to submit an abstract (in English, maximum 300 words) describing what you
would like to present (either as an oral presentation or a poster) and how this will address the
Conference theme ‘Bridging the Gap’. You will also be asked to provide the following information:

• The University where you are pursuing your PhD
• Your PhD topic
• Abstract title

All applications should be submitted via the online tool:

You will be advised of the outcome of your application by mid-May 2019.
