Doctoral Symposium Programme

UFHRD/AHRD Conference 2022 | Doctoral Symposium

5 reasons to attend the University Forum for Human Resource Development / Academy of Human Resource Development Doctoral Symposium:

  1. Develop your network – being a PhD / Professional Doctoral student can be an incredibly lonely place. The UFHRD/AHRD Doctoral Symposium will offer you both structured and unstructured networking opportunities during and after the event, networking with likeminded people who share your passion and specialism interests.
  2. Meet the experts – the UFHRD/AHRD Doctoral Symposium provides an informal and developmental space where you will speak with, learn from, and gain valuable opinions and dedicated feedback from established senior professionals and scholars from the people management field.
  3. Innovative ideas – the UFHRD/AHRD Doctoral Symposium is the annual meeting place where you can ‘test’ your ideas and put them out there to gain constructive and developmental insight. It is also a place where you will find out what ground-breaking ideas, discoveries and current theories are for your specialism.
  4. Dealing with the killer question – one of the most important aspects of creating new knowledge, and evidencing implications for professional practice, is being able to ‘theorise’ and answer the ‘killer question’ – “What is my unique contribution?” This event will provide you with tips and tricks on how to do this.
  5. Building your confidence – the UFHRD/AHRD Conference will provide you with a safe space, where you can ask questions, present ideas, and talk to like-minded people about your research, building your confidence as both a researcher and scholar in your subject specialism. It doesn’t matter where you are in your research journey; the start, the middle, or the end – we would love for you to join us and to hear about your ideas, and to help build your confidence in a friendly and fun environment!
