PhD Poster Session

A special poster session will be organised for PhD candidates starting their careers in linguistics or related disciplines. The goal of the session is to provide a platform for all early-career researchers willing to present their PhD projects to a larger scientific community, with a view to receiving valuable feedback on their work at an early stage of development.

We are happy to announce that Prof. Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk, Vice-Rector of the AMU for the School of Languages and Literatures and Head of the PLM2021 Organising Committee, invites all PhD students of the School of Languages and Literatures' Doctoral School to participate in the poster session for PhD students free of admission charges.
