Candidate presentations
For this seminar we are offering candidates two types of presentation. It is now hoped that every candidate will do at least one presentation during each seminar, in addition to taking responsibility for giving peer feedback to other candidates.
1. Oral Ph.D. presentation: 25 minutes
This presentation should be directly related to the candidates Ph.D. research. These presentations will be followed by feedback from keynote speakers/GRS senior researchers and other Ph.D. candidates.
How to prepare for the oral presentation?
This presentation should take the form of a research lecture considering one or two key questions or issues important to the work. Candidates should choose carefully how much to present given the time limitation. Use of appropriate audio/visual materials is recommended where possible. It is also recommended that candidates give clear information as to how the material of the presentation fits within the context of the Ph.D. as a whole.
2. Key text presentation: 25 minutes
Candidates can give a short presentation on an article or book chapter of their choice. The text chosen should be important to their Ph.D. research. Candidates can choose texts that strongly support or have influenced their thesis, or texts that challenge or oppose their work.
How to prepare for the key text presentation?
All presentations should be a clear, concise summary of the text, key questions and findings-conclusions. Candidates should also consider including discussion of one or more of the following points.
- Summary of how the text has been significant to the candidate’s work specifically, or their field more generally.
- Summary of any opposition to/critiques of the text and its conclusions.
- Suggestions for further reading on the topic.
______________________________________________________
Candidates who participate with oral Ph.D. presentation may also submit a written work (an essay/article based on the oral presentation) to the GRS professional committee for evaluation. This may be written in English or Norwegian, and should follow the guidelines for writing essays/articles.
Deadline for essay/article submission: May 15, 2014.
Peer Feedback on Presentations
Each candidate will be assigned responsibility for giving feedback to a specific Ph.D. presentation. This will mean preparing by reading material carefully in advance, and preparing questions/comments/feedback. Peer feedback will be given as part of the discussion sessions after each presentation.
Credits and participation
We expect full participation from the candidates, and to get ECTS credits the candidates must be present the whole seminar (that is, less than 20% absence).
Full participation with presentation grants 3 ECTS credits (it will not be possible to gain credits merely by being present).
Approval of submitted essay (bassed on the oral presentation) is recognized by GRS with another 2 ECTS credits.
Submission of essays are only for Ph.D. candidates, artistic research candidates and “førstelektor” candidates.
Fees and accommodation
Participation in the research seminar is free for all Ph.D. candidates who are members of GRS, higher education staff and other delegates from the owner institutions. Delegates from other institutions will pay a seminar fee of NOK 3000 and will receive an invoice from the University of Bergen.
Candidates and other delegates cover their own expenses for travel and accommodation. You are offered to stay at Clarion Hotel Stavanger (10 minutes walk from Bjergsted). To make a reservation, contact Clarion Hotel (+47 51 50 25 00), and give the reference code # 252344 to get the university price NOK 1.395.
