The annual ESTER Research Design Course, edition 2025, will be hosted by Dr Germán Jimenez Montes and the University of Seville, Spain, from 3 - 5 November. PhD Candidates can apply until 1 July 2024 via Research School for Economic and Social History | Application form ESTER RDC 2025. The Research Design Course is a three-day workshop in which the PhD candidates,
divided into three to four groups, will discuss their work and that of others. Each
participant will write a paper of 25 pages, according to the provided guidelines, in which
they explicate their research theme and methodology. A group session will take about 70
minutes, in which all papers are presented and cross-examined by fellow PhD candidates
and appointed senior commentators. This will be concluded with a general discussion.
Prior to the workshop, all papers will be circulated, so the participants can read these in
advance. On the final day of the RDC, each participant will be awarded a certificate.
The RDC assists candidates in setting up a high quality and well-designed plan for their dissertation under the guidance of a team of leading senior researchers whose task it is to provide comments and feedback.
