Conference manager Angus Burns said,
“ICPD is the leading international conference to focus on professional and practice based doctorates. Previous events have taken place in London (2009), Edinburgh (2011), Florence (2012) and Cardiff (2014) and have attracted delegates from across the globe to share their experiences of operating professional and practice based doctoral programmes.
The 2016 conference in Belfast’s historic Titanic Quarter, promises to continue the success of the previous events. We look forward to receiving an exciting and varied collection of paper submissions from colleagues across the globe, and we then look forward to welcoming everybody to Belfast next March.”
