APRU Doctoral Students Conference

The APRU Doctoral Students Conference (APRU DSC) is the primary event organized by the APRU Doctoral Students Network (APRU DSN). The DSC aims to bring doctoral students in the Pacific Rim together for intellectual and social interactions. The papers presented address a range of topics grouped under an annual theme.

Since the year 2000, 8 DSCs have been successfully organized in Universities across the Pacific Rim.

The 9th DSC is scheduled to be held from 14-18 July, 2008 at the Far Easten National National University, Vladivostok, Russia. We invite PhD candidates to submit their papers spanning multiple disciples to this exciting conference.
