The European Research Institute for Social Work (ERIS) and the Faculty of Social Studies offer an opportunity for Master’s and PhD students of social work to present their thesis or other work in a genuine European academic atmosphere and

  • to extend their knowledge of social work in Europe and in the world
  • to contribute to a new European research network

Ongoing projects may be presented as well as completed master and doctoral works. Discussion will be facilitated by academic staff and will consist of a critically evaluative debate generating ideas for the further development of one’s project.

New this year! Students' Reciprocal Reviews

We are planning (apart from the student's presentation on her/his research, the reciprocal students' reviewing practice. Which means, that when we get and accept the abstract of the presentation (containing the subject, theoretical and methodological approach in which research is going to be grounded, methods of research, literature etc.) we will find similarities amongst students' areas of research interest and then send to each student a request to prepare a short comment on the other student's abstract. The comment can refer to any aspects (or all) mentioned in abstracts and they should be helpful to excel the student's work. The presentation of the comment will follow the student's presentation and will be the incentive for discussion focused on his/her presentation.

Please kindly send your abstract not later than March 5th to anigul@wp.pl
