Doctoral Conference for PhD Students in Postgraduate Doctoral Programmes in Pedagogy and Education Sciences – DOKON 2026

Margareta Vukojević — Tue, 20 Oct 2026 12:16:53 GMT

20 November 2026 | Organised by the Department of Pedagogy, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Rijeka

We believe that, over the years, DOKON has become a well-established forum for meeting, networking, and exchanging experiences among doctoral students in pedagogy and education sciences. We are therefore delighted to announce its return for the eighth time.

The aim of the Doctoral Conference is to bring together doctoral students from postgraduate doctoral programmes in Croatia and abroad whose research focuses on education and educational issues. By strengthening cooperation among higher education institutions, the Conference seeks to promote more intensive and high-quality research in the field of education, while also raising public awareness of the importance of using research findings to improve educational theory and practice.

As in previous years, the central activity of DOKON 2026 will be the presentation of research papers by doctoral students enrolled in postgraduate doctoral programmes. These presentations will provide doctoral students with an opportunity to share their latest research and findings with a wider audience.

In addition to the doctoral students’ presentations, DOKON 2026 will feature plenary speakers Dr Marija Brajdić Vuković and Assistant Professor Bojana Vignjević Korotaj, who will deliver a plenary lecture entitled Intergenerational Responsibilities in Science. A workshop entitled How Can Artificial Intelligence Help Early-Career Researchers? will also be organised for participants and led by Dr Sanda Bujačić Babić.

We kindly ask you to forward this announcement to doctoral students whose research focuses on education and educational issues and encourage them to participate. In doing so, you will help support ongoing initiatives to strengthen cooperation and networking in educational research.

Call for Papers - Doctoral Conference in Bratislava

Margareta Vukojević — Tue, 15 Sep 2026 06:59:00 GMT

Invitation for PhD students from various academic institutions who are interested in the history and social dimension of Food, Culture, and Leisure to the International Workshop of Young Researchers in Social Sciences and Humanities, organized by the Institute of History of the Slovak Academy of Sciences. The workshop will take place on April 21–22, 2027, in Bratislava, Slovakia.

The study of everyday life has become an established and influential field within the social sciences and humanities. The concept of Alltagsgeschichte (history of everyday life) emerged and gained considerable prominence in the second half of the 20th century, particularly through the work of German historians Alf Lüdtke and Hans Medick, who emphasized the importance of examining social phenomena and everyday experiences within their broader historical contexts. Building on these approaches, the workshop aims to explore everyday life through the interconnected themes of food, culture, and leisure, with a focus on 19th and 20th century Europe. These seemingly ordinary aspects of daily life can provide valuable insights into social structures, cultural identities, economic relations and interpersonal relationships.

The workshop is open to young scholars (PhD students) in the social sciences and humanities, whose research engages with social and cultural history. Our aim is to promote interdisciplinary exchange, foster scholarly dialogue, and build an international network. Contributions may approach the theme from historical, social, cultural, or other relevant perspectives. We particularly welcome interdisciplinary and comparative approaches that explore the ways in which food, culture, and leisure shaped (or were shaped by) everyday life.

Presentations will last 15 minutes, followed by a discussion. Participants will be required to submit their presentation texts (max.4 pages) before the conference.

Practical information:

• Please submit your abstracts by email to phdconference.sav@gmail.com.
• Deadline for submission: October 31, 2026.
• Participants will be required to submit their presentation texts (max.4 pages): around March 31, 2027.
• Participants are kindly asked to arrange their own accommodation.
• Lunch will be provided by the organizers.

We look forward to receiving your contributions and welcoming you to Bratislava!
