Vlaamse PhD Cup 2025 | in DUTCH | Register before 30 June
Did you obtain your PhD degree in the past two years? Then the Flemish PhD Cup challenges you to convey to the general public the insights of the doctoral research you have been working on for years! Not through an academic lecture but told as a compelling and comprehensible story for non-peers. After an intense media training, you will face the ultimate test: can you explain the core of your PhD in just... three minutes?
