PhD Core Course 3: Huizinga PhD Conference at Dominicanenklooster Huissen

The two-day Huizinga Institute PhD conference takes place twice a year. In their third year, PhDs present part of their research  on the conference (2 EC). Their talks will be discussed by co-referents (who have been invited by the candidates themselves) and the audience.

Attending as an auditor

PhDs are encouraged to participate as auditors every year. RMA students may receive 1 EC by attending both conference days and handing in a short report within two weeks after the conference. Instructions can be downloaded here.

Due to the coronavirus measures, the conference will be held online. If you are interested in joining one or both days, please register below.
