Doctoral Seminar


Location and dates

The Doctoral Seminar is held once a year, just prior to the EurOMA annual conference. The 12th EurOMA Doctoral Seminar will take place at the Trinity College Dublin on Friday and Saturday June 07-08 2013.

Objective

The EurOMA Doctoral Seminar provides PhD students with a forum to present and to discuss their research, and an opportunity to get feedback from and exchange comments with fellow PhD students and established researchers in Operations Management.

Structure

The Doctoral Seminar consists of two 'classes' or years. In the first year class, participants are invited to present their research design and preliminary results. This seminar is meant for students who are in the first year or early in the second year of their PhD studies.

Students who took part in a previous first year class will be invited to join the second year class, one year after. In that seminar, the discussion will focus on results and preliminary conclusions (contribution to theory, methodology and/or practice of Operations Management).

Students are recommended strongly to attend the EDEN Doctoral Seminar on Research Methodology in Operations Management before participating in the EurOMA series of Doctoral Seminars.

Certification and credits

Upon successful completion of the Doctoral Seminar, first year participants receive a certificate titled 'Research Design in Operations Management'. Second year participants receive a certificate titled 'Research Results in Operations Management'. Each Doctoral Seminar counts for 3 ECTS.

Work mode: presentation, discussion and reflection

First year participants must submit a written project description as part of their application for the Doctoral Seminar. Second year participants must submit a working paper, as part of their application, covering their initial findings and conclusions. All participants are expected to present, discuss and reflect on their research in collaboration with fellow-students and faculty.
