Doctoral Research Symposium

The Doctoral Research Symposium was offered in partnership with Dublin City University (DCU) and the European Distance and E-Learning Network (EDEN). It took place on Sunday 3rd November at DCU’s St Patrick’s Campus. The Symposium provided a unique opportunity for current and prospective doctoral students to share their research interests and engage with experienced researchers in the area. This was an interactive event designed to explore some of the major research themes, problems and issues facing today’s educators in the digital-era. As part of the Doctoral Research Symposium participants had the opportunity to hear lessons from other doctoral candidates, learn more about mentoring opportunities for doctoral students, and meet several editors of leading publications in the field.
