PhD Existence XV 2025: „…And do you have an ID?“
Dear colleagues and friends,
We kindly invite you to the 15th annual PHD EXISTENCE: Czech-Slovak psychological conference (not only) about and for PhD students with the title „…And do you have an ID?“. We would like to welcome you on 27.1. – 28.1. 2025 in the traditional venue of the Palacký University Arts Centre („Konvikt“).
Fifteenth birthday is an important milestone in a person’s life, which opens up new opportunities and challenges, where greater autonomy and responsibility is also expected. It is a period of struggle between wild impulses and the norms of the adult world.
In the same way, our conference matures into an established form but still keeps its playful nature. You can look forward to presentations not only on developmental psychology or risk behavior, but also on a wide variety of other topics. We have invited leading experts which will be presented on the website https://phdexistence.cz/.
The conference will once again provide space for mutual inspiration, networking and perhaps new friendships not only within the professional programme but also during the social meeting on the evening of the first day.
Don’t miss this opportunity and come celebrate with us the beautiful 15th birthday of PhD Existence!
We’d love to have you join us by actively participating in the way of a presentation, workshop or a poster. Instructions for submissions are listed on the conference website under the registration tab. You can also sign your conference paper as a scientific article in the journal Discussion in Psychology (https://diskuzevpsychologii.upol.cz/).
Furthermore, you can also enjoy the conference as an audience member, in a passive participation. In both cases, do not hesitate to join the comic competition on the topic of PhD existence, where valuable prizes will await you!
We look forward to seeing you!
