ESERA Doctoral School 2025


The next ESERA Doctoral School will take place in Almeria in the Southest of Spain from June 9th to June 14th 2025, hosted by the UAL, UMA y UJA at the University of Almeria.

We invite PhD students working in the field of science education research to submit their applications for the Doctoral School by January 22, 2025 (see the Apply for Doctoral School menu). A maximum of 49 PhD students will be selected, based on a review of their synopses, and considering a diversity of countries and fields of interest in science education. In addition to the possibility to present and discuss participants’ research in small supportive groups, the ESERA Doctoral School offers a number of possibilities to meet and discuss research with mentors outside one’s own mentor group (world café format) and workshops, provided by experienced science education researchers at different career stages.

We also invite Academics, who are ESERA members and would like to contribute to the Doctoral School as reviewers, to submit their applications by January 15, 2024. In addition, 14 mentors will be selected to accompany the PhD students during their stay in Almería.

This edition of the ESERA Doctoral School will be jointly organised by three nearby universities (Málaga-Jaén-Almería). This consortium of universities has been collaborating for some time on research projects and publications. Senior and junior researchers from the three universities are participating in the local organising team to facilitate the incorporation of PhD students into the ESERA community.
