The third PLPR full-day PhD Workshop will take place on Monday, 19th February 2018 from 9 AM to 5 PM.
The workshop is aimed at PhD students, at any stage, whose research is relevant to the intersection between planning, law, and property rights. We look forward to receiving applications from students in Real Estate, Geography, Spatial Planning, Law, Political Science, or other related fields.

Highlights are:

• mentoring from experienced researchers
• hands-on work on your PhD project
• social and networking activities with your peers in the workshop

Application Procedure
PhD students (at any stage) can apply to participate in the workshop. It should be emphasized that the workshop itself is an extension of the PLPR Conference – not a stand-alone event. In order to participate, a PhD student is required to submit an abstract and present at the conference. As such, passing the abstract review process is a prerequisite for participation. An additional requirement from the workshop participants is to submit an extended description of their PhD project in order to provide the basis for discussion at the workshop itself.

In total, the PhD applicant is asked to submit three documents:

1. An abstract for the paper which is to be presented at the conference.
2. A short description of the PhD project of 1-3 pages, including: research topic, (sub-)discipline, research question, and abstract (may be the same abstract as above, but has to be submitted separately to the database).
3. An extended description of the research. Not more than 10 pages, including problem setting, research question, hypothesis, theoretical background, research design, research methods, status of the research, problems faced, and (optionally) the CV.
