On Wednesday June 15 there will be a special PhD program. You can find more information or the PhD Program page.
The conference will feature both traditional paper presentations and practitioner sessions, where researchers will first present after which they will go in debate with a media professional who has expertise in the topic of the panel.
In both type of sessions, we want to stimulate a lively debate on the overarching panel topic. Therefore, presenters will be given no more than 10 minutes to present. In some sessions, this will even be just 7 minutes. We will let you know for which sessions this is the case.
Throughout the conference participants will be interviewed on specific themes by students. The summary compilation of these interviews will be published afterwards in a podcast.
