Leiden Institute for Area Studies (LIAS)
Events calendar
LIAS PhD program activities include thematic coursework (the PhD Seminars), generic skills training, library training, research presentations, social events, and so on. They are open to all LIAS PhD candidates, regardless of the stage to which their project has progressed.
The skills training and library training sessions do not aspire to full coverage of the topics in question, but offer pointers and perspectives that will help PhD candidates further explore them in the context of their own project.
The list below will be updated as event details are confirmed. Unless otherwise indicated, events are moderated by the Director of Doctoral Studies. Detailed announcements for each events are circulated to all PhD candidates on email, normally one week ahead of time.
