OSK PhD presentations: Section Modern and Contemporary Art
This spring, the section for modern and contemporary art of the OSK is organizing online events to facilitate interaction and exchange in between PhDs of the various universities in the Netherlands. We are planning two evenings, on April 12 and May 10 (7 pm), at each of which PhD candidates from different universities give brief 10-minute presentations on their research, followed by a Q&A, and a subsequent possibility to meet up in smaller groups around specific topics and concerns.
