The EFA 2017 Annual Meeting also gives younger researchers the opportunity to present their papers at the one-day EFA Doctoral Tutorial that will be held on Wednesday August 23, 2017. This annual educational event is organized by the chairs, Frans de Roon, Esther Eiling, Gyöngyi Lóranth and Kristian Miltersen. This event is sponsored by Nasdaq Educational Foundation and CQA.

Doctoral Tutorial

The EFA Doctoral Tutorial is held in a collaborative and friendly atmosphere. The selected papers will be distributed well in advance to facilitate lively discussions and questions from student and faculty participants alike. To enhance the collegiality of the tutorial, participants are expected to attend the entire event. In addition, a student whose paper is accepted for the Doctorial Tutorial is also expected to serve as a discussant for one of the papers. All participants will receive a certificate of participation for presenting their papers at the EFA 2017 Doctoral Tutorial.

Additionally, as part of the Doctoral Tutorial event, all the participants are invited to a group dinner together with the faculty participants and the sponsors of this event. The dinner will take place the previous night on Tuesday, August 22, 2017.

Please note that this is a closed session for PhD students selected by the chairs to present their research. Interested observers must obtain permission in advance from the organizers in order to be admitted to this special session.
