The SEBD 2025 Doctoral Consortium will take place in a dedicated session during the conference on Monday, June 16, 2025. The goal is to provide a forum for PhD candidates to present their ongoing research and receive feedback from renowned and experienced research community members. The Consortium fosters a collaborative environment, encouraging constructive discussions and sharing of ideas. It will be an excellent opportunity for developing person-to-person networks to the benefit of the PhD students in their future careers – as well as of the community.
