Lancaster University’s postgraduate social science community would like to invite PhD and MA students to a digital Intellectual Party/Summer Conference:

Things DIGITAL – any aspect of the digital world
Things POLICY – any aspect of policy, governance, political process and law
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY – any aspect of research on science and technology
PRACTICES of all kinds – organizational, health/care-related, environmental and more
OPEN – ideas welcome on any other topic.

The programme includes a series of Craft Skills sessions (including topics such as Developing an Academic Identity, Preparing for your Viva, and Editing and Publishing in Academic Journals), a game of floorball, a  collaborative session with prizes for the group that invents the most intriguing hybrid PhD project, and a spectacular Grand Finale.

There will also be a ‘Three Minute Thesis’ competition with £50 going to the contestant who provides the most convincing, interesting and effective account of their thesis in just three minutes.
