PhD day

The second edition of the PhD Days study day aimed at all PhD students in Earth Sciences in Italy will be held on 16 September.

This day will be a real mini-conference in which PhD students will be able to discuss each other by informally presenting their research. This year a new modality has been introduced which consists of an IES session (inspired by the PICO sessions) preceded by "crazy presentations".
