International Summer School and Symposium for Doctoral Students

InSuDoc2025 is an International Summer School and Symposium for Doctoral Students in Early Childhood Education and Development (ECED) and other related fields (e.g., Developmental Psychology, Child Development, Special Needs). Owing to the overwhelming success of InSuDoc2023 and 2024, we are offering InSuDoc2025 for the third time. Organized by the Department of Early Childhood Education at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), InSuDoc2025 will bring together international, regional, and local doctoral students to equip them with essential tools to successfully complete their doctoral degrees and publish their work in academic journals.
 

The theme of InSuDoc2025 will be “Development of Academic Identity”. During the symposium component of the event, participants will be invited to offer a lightning talk (3 minutes per person), elaborating on the most significant aspects of their own academic identity. Topics that could be covered are research interests, theoretical frameworks of reference, preferred methodologies, past educational background, and future academic goals, among other topics. Lightning talks will be offered verbally (slides will not be used).    

 

Renowned international scholars will offer specialized seminars in their areas of specialization. Social activities will be organized after the academic activities.  

  

Audience 

While the main target audience for InSuDoc2025 is doctoral students in ECED programs (PhD and EdD), other junior researchers (for example Master students, Research Assistants and Post-Doctoral Fellows) are also welcome to participate. 

  

Looking forward to welcoming you to InSuDoc2025!
