As scientific research in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and the wider Central African region continue to expand — both within Belgium and globally — it is crucial to foster interdisciplinary dialogue that bridges diverse academic traditions and research paradigms.
This two days workshop aims to bring together doctoral students working in/on Central Africa from a variety of disciplinary perspectives.
It will offer a unique platform to present ongoing research, engage with peers, and receive constructive feedback from senior scholars, including postdocs, professors, and researchers based in non-academic institutions.
In addition, one or two prominent scholars will be invited to deliver keynote addresses. Full details, including the final program and list of speakers, will be shared in due course.
Deadline proposal submissions: 15 September 2025.
Participation in the PhD workshop is free of charge but subject to selection by the scientific committee based on the quality and relevance of submitted proposals.
While we strongly encourage in-person attendance to foster engagement and networking, an option for online participation will be available for those unable to attend the workshop in person.
