At the Amsterdam Law School, the possibility to obtain a doctoral thesis consisting of articles is not new. The faculty already had a guideline on the subject dating from 2013, and the UvA doctorate regulations has already allowed this for several years. In view of the sector plan, the faculty has adopted a renewed guideline on writing a doctoral thesis consisting of articles at the beginning of 2022. 

Save the date: conference Healthy PhD Practices

The Dutch law faculties have also agreed  to organize a conference on the different cultures with regards to writing a doctoral thesis. This will take place on 16 March. The aim is to have a debate on the different cultures concerning a PhD in law (monograph versus a doctoral thesis consisting of articles).

• Date: Wednesday 16 March 2022
• Time: +/- 12.00 - 17.00 hrs
• Location: Erasmus University Rotterdam (possibly also online)

The programme will consist of a plenary session, a number of workshops and a concluding panel discussion.

Workshops will be organised on:

1. A doctoral thesis consisting of articles
2. Size and scope of the doctoral thesis
3. Progress monitoring
4. Mental wellbeing of PhD-candidates

The conference will be in English. However, 2 of the 4 workshops will be held in Dutch.
