Website: https://ogss2027.ico-education.nl/

ICO is delighted to invite all PhD’s in the Educational Sciences to the ICO Open Graduate Spring School (OGSS 2027)! This event combines the best aspects of a conference and a research retreat, offering an enriching experience for PhD candidates worldwide who are engaged in research within educational sciences.

The ICO OGSS 2027 is designed with two main goals in mind. First, to foster learning: from inspirational keynote speakers, from engaging workshops led by field experts, and through presenting and discussing your own PhD research in small, focused groups. You’ll have the chance to receive and give constructive feedback, enhancing your insights and skills.

The second goal is to network: OGSS 2027 is a valuable opportunity to build connections within an international scientific community. This event welcomes PhD candidates at all stages of their research journey, providing a unique platform for academic exchange and collaboration.

What can you expect?

  • Participation in advanced workshops on research methods and topics central to educational sciences.
  • Opportunities to present your research through paper, poster, or round-table formats, and to receive and offer feedback.
  • An engaging social programme that allows you to form genuine connections with peers from different countries.

To fully immerse yourself in the OGSS 2027 experience, we encourage all attendees to stay on-site at the venue, where accommodation is provided. This setup is designed to maximize your time with fellow researchers in a dynamic, collaborative environment. If you have specific accommodation or dietary needs, please indicate them on your registration form, or feel free to contact us directly.
