Doctoral Student Workshops:

EUROSLA 17 will also include a doctoral student workshop which is 
intended to serve as a platform (and encouraging environment) for the 
discussion of ongoing PhD research (on any aspect of SLA). PhD students 
are invited to submit an abstract of a 15 minute presentation focusing 
on theoretical or methodological issues. Presenters in this category 
should send a copy of their presentation to the discussant one month 
before the conference. This will form the basis of the 15 minute 
feedback/ discussion session.

The top 5 submissions will receive a prize consisting of free 
registration for the conference, a book of their choice to be presented 
publicly during the conference, and €200.

Submissions for the doctoral student workshop should include the following:

1. Title of the paper
2. Name and affiliation of the author
