PHD BRAINSTORMING DAY 2025
PHD BRAINSTORMING DAY 2025 is a one-day event dedicated to foster collaboration, knowledge exchange, and networking among students. The day will begin with presentations from PhD candidates approaching the end of their PhD journey, who will share insights and outcomes from their research. This will be followed by an introduction to the opportunities and initiatives offered by the newly established IEEE Student Branch of the University of Catania, a student hub designed to promote interdisciplinary collaboration, skill development, and innovation. After a coffee break, the event will feature a poster session where other PhD students will present their ongoing research, encouraging open discussion and idea sharing in a dynamic academic setting.
