Doctoral Days

John Tribe, Jan van der Borg, Rafael Boix and Irena Ateljevic at the Doctoral Days of URV

Rovira i Virgili University launches the 'Doctoral Days', an annual three-day event (29-31th October) directed to the URV PhD students in Tourism and Leisure, focused on innovation in tourism research. This workshop aims at presenting breakthrough research topics and methods to researchers who are currently writing their PhD thesis in Tourism. It will do so through the active involvement of three distinguished international researchers: Jan van der Borg, Rafael Boix and Irena Ateljevic, and the participation of the chief editor of one of the most prominent tourism research journals, Annals of Tourism Research, John Tribe. All of them have an extensive experience in a large amount of international and national projects and a proven capacity to involve doctoral candidates in such a top research.

The workshop is opened to PhD students and academics from other universities and research centers. 

PhD candidates will have the opportunity, during the three morning open sessions, to learn about their most recent research efforts: problems challenged, methods deployed, and outputs generated; and, during the closed?group sessions, they will have the chance to share with them their current or future research projects and the problems faced, discussing solutions, getting practical suggestions, and possibly also querying about future collaborations and tutorships.

Organised by the Faculty of Tourism and Geography of URV, with the collaboration of the Science and Technology Park for Tourism and Leisure (PCT)
