D!ARC net:work is intended as an open and interdisciplinary event for all disciplines and diverse academic levels. In particular, we provide a space for PhD candidates – to meet, to discuss and also to present work. PhD candidates will get feedback on ongoing work, or even first ideas for a potential research project from an interdisciplinary community.
We aim at fostering discussions and building an interdisciplinary community throughout the University of Klagenfurt around the topic of “Humans in the Digital Age” and related questions.
The meeting is divided into two parts. In the first part (ca. 1h), a PhD student will give us a short input into their work (20 min. max), followed by input from a discussant and a general discussion. The second part of the meeting (1⁄2 hour) will be used for informal exchange and networking between the different participants.
In order to keep the meeting open and friendly, we follow the idea of a brown bag lunch. Feel free to bring your own food! Cookies will be provided by D!ARC.
The event will be in English.
