Interdisciplinary Doctoral Conference in Pécs, Hungary

The Doctoral Student Association of University of Pécs (DSA UP) is proud to organize its international multidisciplinary scientific event for the third time from 15th–17th April 2014.

The event is a joint international symposium consisting of the Interdisciplinary Doctoral Conference (IDK2014), the 1st Special College Days of Pécs organized by the University Student Council of UP and the Blossoming Almond Trees Science Days. IDK2014 is under the patronage of Professor József Bódis, M.D, rector of University of Pécs and former president of the Hungarian Rectors’ Conference. The main aim of the Conference is to create a platform and provide a good opportunity for Hungarian and international doctoral students to exchange ideas, hold scientific presentations, and also to strengthen personal and professional networking.

Furthermore, prominent and influential scientists are invited to present their research findings as plenary speakers. We are pleased to invite national and international PhD students from all scientific fields to the “IDK 2014” where you will have the possibility to present your research or poster at specific technical sessions; even artists have a place to display their work. At the same time workshops and round-table discussions will enrich the program. This year beside the expected presentations, every technical session will be followed by an interdisciplinary discussion with current problems and topics worth to negotiate on. The aim of the interdisciplinary sections is to generate discussion and debate after the competent presenters hold their speeches.

Hence colleagues from another scientific field can learn new knowledge and new perspective which might be used for later research. Also similarly to previous years, the Conference is open for graduate students with outstanding scientific achievements to hold presentations. Parallel to IDK2014, the 1st Special College Days of Pécs will be held, organized by the University Student Council of UP. The most prominent graduate students attending this event are also welcome to speak at the closing day of IDK2014.
