SGPE PhD students
Normally only PhD students who are enrolled with one of the SGPE Partner institutions are eligible to be affiliated as an SGPE PhD. PhD students who are not members of the SGPE must apply to join beforehand, usually by October in the year before the conference. The deadline for applying for affiliation for the 2023/24 academic year has now passed.
Non-affiliated students at SGPE institutions are able to attend the conference to present on one occasion during their studies - please contact the SGPE office for more information about this.
Attendance at the conference is required of all SGPE PhDs who are not in their fourth/writing-up year, or beyond. Affiliated PhD students in their fourth/writing-up year are welcome to attend, but this is optional.
SGSSS-funded PhD students in Economics are also expected to attend the conference as part of their ESRC training.
