PhD Day is a traditional pre-congress research workshop where PhD students have the opportunity to present and discuss their research. The main objective is to support the research capacity building in the incoming generation of cultural-historical and activity research. Also, this is a unique opportunity for PhD researchers to join the ISCAR community, and start building their own research networks and communities.

In the PhD Students’ Day, special attention will be given to the PhD thesis, focusing on the different phases of doctoral research. There will be spaces/times for dialogues, presentations, posters, and debates, including the participation of Senior Researchers that will discuss parts of PhD students’ work and provide some suggestions. For instance, the opportunity to discuss theoretical framework, research design, methodology and data analysis will be given to doctoral students who have already collected their empirical data.
