「Annual BAGSS Conference」
// CONFERENCE CONCEPT
A conference organized by Graduate Students for Graduate Students.
? Annually, the doctoral fellows of the Bamberg Graduate School of Social Sciences host an interdisciplinary two day doctoral conference in Bamberg. Each year, the conference revolves around a pressing, current issue that is facing society. It brings together graduate students and leading scholars in their respective fields. A number of cross-disciplinary sessions rooted in the Graduate School's main research interests including Educational Research, Political Science, Sociology and Psychology provide a powerful platform for dynamic and challenging discussions.
The keynote speeches complement the conference's interdisciplinary and international framework with past keynote speakers such as Francesco Billari, Guy Peters or Jürgen Baumert. The varied programme also provides plenty of opportuinities for idea sharing and networking during the refreshment breaks or a large conference dinner at the end of the first day.The sessions are designed in such a way that invited senior researchers are able to present their work as well as give feedback on the papers presented by the PhD students.
Each year over 100 participants come to Bamberg to enjoy a conference that promotes scientific exchange, inter- and cross- diciplinary exchange and internationality. ?
