ENTER PhD Workshop

Introduction

Rome, 23 Jan 2017; Deadline 26 Aug

The call for submissions for the traditional pre-ENTER conference PhD workshop is out.

This workshop provides a forum for doctoral students undertaking research related to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in Travel and Tourism to interactively discuss their research with peers, colleagues, and leading supervisors and scholars in the field. Doctoral students at all stages (i.e. beginning as well as nearly completed) are encouraged to participate.

This workshop will provide doctoral students an opportunity to share and develop their research ideas in a critical but supportive environment, get feedback from mentors who are senior members within the IT and Tourism research community, explore issues related to academic and research careers, and build relationships with other students, researchers and members of the community from around the world.

The workshop will happen in Rome (Italy) on January 23, 2017.
