The two-day Huizinga Institute PhD conference takes place once or twice a year. In their third year, PhDs present part of their research (2 EC) on the conference. Their talks will be discussed by co-referents (who have been invited by the candidates themselves) and the audience. PhDs are encouraged to participate every year as auditors. RMa students are invited to participate at least once as auditors and write a short report on the conference (1 EC).
