The plenary sessions take place in the first part of the seminar, followed by discussions in the working groups. The Ph.D. students will be divided into four working groups; each supervised by one of the professors. In these working groups, the Ph.D. students will get the opportunity to discuss their own research. To prepare for the discussions, the students will receive the papers written by their group members some time before the seminar starts.
The seminar language is English, and the papers should be written in English. The feedback provided during the group sessions should be included in the final paper. Deadline for submitting the final paper is 31 December 2005. Participation on this seminar will give 10 Norwegian Ph.D. student credits (ECTs) (equal to 1/3 of a semester load) if the paper submitted in December is approved.
