During this special day, which precedes the annual EPP Day, selected PhD students present and receive feedback on their work. Moreover, an interactive workshop is organized for all PhD students. All EPP PhD students are invited. The PhD Students Day provides an excellent opportunity for meeting other EPP PhD students in a setting that is both professional and casual. The day is designed to foster discussion. The presentations are integrated into interactive symposia, in which there is ample time for discussing results and their possible implications. The topic of the workshop is to be determined but will be centered on personal growth. Previous years’ topics have included talent development, writing skills, and media exposure.
