The 2024 ACERE Doctoral Consortium will once again provide a forum for PhD students to learn and develop as scholars. Attendees will have the opportunity to receive developmental feedback from leading scholars on their research, learn about how to develop a publication strategy and broader pathways for impact from early on in their PhDs projects and gain advice on how best to prepare for the job market. The Consortium will be hosted at the University of Technology Sydney and available for participants online.

Aims

  • To provide expert advice on research and challenges in the Ph.D. process
  • To gain a deeper understanding of how to develop a publication strategy and build impact pathways from early in the Ph.D. project
  • To support entrepreneurship-related Ph.D. students to further develop their research strategies and portfolio, with a balanced emphasis on publication outputs and societal impact
  • To facilitate and promote networking with others in their field of research from different institutions
  • To meet leading International and Australian Entrepreneurship researchers in an informal setting and learn about where the field has come from and where it’s going
  • To share first-hand experience of the review process, what to expect, and how to manage it
  • To gain deeper insights into the job market, with tips and tricks for finishing, finding a job and thriving through the PhD process

Testimonials

As a first-time participant and a new doctoral student just 6 months in, the conference has been extremely useful for me in terms of my own personal learning and in meeting new, liked-minded individuals. I would definitely encourage more of my friends to apply the conference in the future.
