On May 20, 2024, FSCIRE - Fondazione per le scienze religiose, the European Research Infrastructure for the study of religion RESILIENCE and DREST - Italian Doctoral School of Religious Studies promoted in the framework of the European Academy of Religion Annual Conference the "PhD Forum", aiming at discussing the future of the study of religion and the role of Research Infrastructures and Doctoral Schools in this field, in the European context. Thirteen scholars participated in the discussion, bringing to the forum the different national perspectives, and identifying the opportunities and challenges envisioned in a possible pan-European doctoral initiative.
The purpose of this panel is to bring on the discussion on the Doctoral schools in this field by focusing on the students taking part in their activities and building their own professional and/or academic career along such a path. The panel welcomes short interventions presenting practices in career development, research support and cooperation endeavours in European Doctoral Schools, therefore encouraging both established and young scholars to bring in their perspectives and analyses. The expected outcomes of the panel are the identification of areas in which RESILIENCE and the European Doctoral Schools involved in the Forum can converge to better operate and contribute to the future of Doctoral students and early career scholars.
