What is Graduate Forum?

The UACES Graduate Forum is an active network of postgraduate and early-career researchers in contemporary European Studies. It provides important opportunities for development, sharing ideas and networking.

What we do?

We provide useful resources, events and funding opportunities to build networks between those from different universities, countries and academic disciplines, and to help advance research in European Studies.

Who can join?

If your research is in European Studies or a related discipline (e.g. Political Science, IR, History, Law, Economics, Sociology, Geography, Public Policy, Modern Languages, Anthropology), the Graduate Forum is for you.

We currently have three positions available on the committee which will commence in December for a 2-year term from December 2024 to December 2026. Those are: Chair, Events Officer (joint position), and Communications Officer. It would be desirable (but not essential) that these positions are filled by people who are still completing their PhD.
