Why are you organising these sessions?

We are planning a series of sessions throughout the year on issues relating to doctoral participation and completion. We want to establish a community of Unconventional Doctorates of candidates operating outside and inside academia.

Joining the community is free. As the platform matures, users can access free and premium content, peer groups and on-demand services.
