Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) International Doctoral Conference
These FAQs are intended to help you better understand the differences and participation requirements between the two events held within the same congress: the International Doctoral Conference and the International Nursing Research Conference. While they run in parallel and share the same organization, each has specific focuses and requirements:
As a PhD candidate, registration allows me to participate in a space designed specifically for discussing thesis projects, presenting work among doctoral students, and building collaborative networks.
Unlike the International Nursing Research Conference, this event prioritizes the early exchange of ideas in horizontal debate settings among doctoral students. Universities often recognize this participation as both a training and dissemination activity. Therefore, the accreditation awarded is specific to the International Doctoral Conference and is recognized by most universities as part of doctoral training plans.
There is no formal poster defense. Posters will be displayed in a visible area near the conference venue. Other attendees at the scientific events may be interested in the posters, so it is recommended that you be present during breaks to answer questions or provide further information.
Yes. If your thesis is at an advanced stage, with preliminary or final results that can be shared, you may submit an abstract to the International Nursing Research Conference. This abstract will undergo peer review and, if accepted, will be included in the program as either an oral communication or a poster presentation.
Participation and registration in this modality mean that your presentation will be recognized as part of the Conference, and you will receive an official certificate of contribution. It is important to note that this accreditation differs from that of the International Doctoral Conference, since it reflects consolidated criteria of scientific evaluation and dissemination rather than formative support for ongoing doctoral projects.
No, it is not possible to submit the same work to both events simultaneously. You must choose whether to participate in the International Doctoral Conference or the International Nursing Research Conference, as each has different objectives, audiences, and formats. This exclusivity ensures the academic value and coherence of the certificates issued and avoids duplication in participation.
Participation as a presenter in the International Nursing Research Conference is incompatible with registering for the International Doctoral Conference or presenting your thesis project there. This incompatibility ensures the academic identity of each event, avoids overlaps in participation certificates, and safeguards the quality of debate and specific formative support in each space.
Therefore, if you wish to present projects with completed results, the International Nursing Research Conference is the appropriate space.
No. As mentioned earlier, it is not possible to participate in both events simultaneously, since they take place in parallel. In this case, you must register for the International Doctoral Conference.
No. As mentioned earlier, it is not possible to participate in both events simultaneously, since they take place in parallel. In this case, you must register for the International Nursing Research Conference.
To obtain the attendance certificate for the International Doctoral Conference, you must meet the following requirements:
- Attend all plenary sessions of the congress.
- Actively participate in all sessions specifically for doctoral students.
Attendance will be recorded at the entrance and exit of each activity. In addition:
- If you attend workshops, you will receive the corresponding certificate.
- If your thesis project is accepted, you will receive a communication certificate (oral or poster).
You do not need to print it yourself. The organization will handle the printing of all accepted posters for the International Doctoral Conference.
