      PhD Day (September 15th)

      Are you a PhD student in the field of Sustainable Production and Consumption? Do you want to introduce your work to senior mentors, learn about writing and publishing skills, and meet other likeminded students? Then you are invited to apply for the ERSCP 2025 PhD day!

      During the day leading to the 22nd ERSCP conference, you will get together with peers and mentors to improve your research, learn about how to develop your writing and publication skills and discuss early-career and PhD specific struggles. To apply, you need to submit a piece of your research, which will be reviewed by one of the senior mentors. In small sessions, you will present your work and receive feedback from your mentor and colleagues. In the afternoon, you will have the chance to interact with two panels of experts about how to write and publish quality articles, and how to successfully write research proposals. The event will close with the kick-off to the main ERSCP conference.

      Therefore, the PhD Day is a great opportunity not only to advance your work, but also to get a first contact with the conference, extend your network and meet other PhDs attending the conference.
