I. Eurasian Doctoral Student Academy (EDSA)
Founded in 2015, the ‘Eurasian Doctoral Student Academy’ (EDSA) entails the vision of being a goal-oriented platform used by academicians to further scientific studies. EDSA´s focus is on harmonizing the scientific method towards a ‘Generally Accepted Scientific Method’ (GASM) within the realm of social sciences across various academic cultures around the globe with Eurasia as its departure point. In doing so, EDSA assists Post-Graduate Candidates, Graduate Students, Researchers and Scholars in their work, networking needs, cooperation and research collaboration.
EDSA has its mission in providing a plethora of platforms such as annual gatherings, conferences, symposiums, publishing platforms, networking forums, individual assistance in research, training programs via a cadre of senior international distinguished professors in partnership with universities around the world and academically oriented organizations as its support.
II. Key Features & Benefits of EDSA
EDSA 2022 (held during one week) consists of six (6) working days and one day for cultural exploration and socializing / networking.
EDSA 2022 explores the latest and well-tested methods and approaches in conducting scientific studies in the context of writing dissertations towards obtaining a Doctoral Degree. During the weeklong program, the participants receive individual consultations on their respective subjects by distinguished professors as ‘consultants’ on an individual basis, as well as in panels. In tandem with these ‘Academic Clinics’, lectures, seminars and workshops—in an array of techniques and elements in the scientific method, academic writing and research methodology—are delivered by the visiting professors and experts.
To enhance the participants’ positive experience and maximize the benefits, EDSA 2022 organizes seminars on how to publish in high ranked international journals, alongside with sessions for networking with the view of establishing collaborative research and academic mobility.
On a successful completion of EDSA 2022 and full attendance, the participants will have gained new knowledge and expertise.
