The next Huizinga PhD conference takes place on Monday 18 November 2024 at Utrecht University’s Academiegebouw. Several PhD candidates will present part of their research project. Their talks are discussed by co-referents (who have been invited by the candidates themselves) and the audience, leading to new insights and fruitful discussions.
PhD candidates and RMA students are more than welcome to join the conference in the audience. Attending the conference offers a great opportunity to find out more about the current research of our PhDs and to (re)connect with the Huizinga community. RMA students have the possibility to obtain 1 EC by attending the conference and writing a short report afterwards. Instructions for this edition can be downloaded here.
