Starting with engagement and impact in
Accounting and Finance doctoral research in Scotland
3 November 2015
Edinburgh
You just started your PhD in Accounting or Finance at a Scottish University? This event will be a critical foundation to your studies so as to understand the importance of the engagement with the profession and consider the need for your research to be policy relevant and able to have an ‘impact’. Additionally, this event will promote the continuation of a well-established network in Scotland for advanced training and access to that training for all postgraduate researchers in Accounting and Finance. The sooner you embed these key elements in your research projects the higher the chances the final outcome of your PhD to have an impact.
Register and come along for a thought provoking day with your fellow students who also start their PhD journeys!

The Scottish Graduate School of Social Science is the UK's largest facilitator of funding, training and support for doctoral students in social science. By combining the expertise of sixteen universities across Scotland, the school facilitates world-class PhD research. The school is funded jointly by the Economic and Social Research Council and the Scottish Funding Council.
SGSSS is a highly attractive environment for doctoral research. Not only do our partner universities offer an excellent research environment, we also offer comprehensive and world-class research training in a number of discipline-specific and interdisciplinary pathways. In addition, the school manages a programme of advanced training courses and an annual summer school which together offers our students further opportunities to develop their research, knowledge exchange and transferable professional skills.
At the heart of the SGSSS is the Doctoral Training Partnership (formerly the Doctoral Training Centre) in Scotland. The SGSSS was established in 2011 and is the biggest of 14 Economic & Social Research Council (ESRC) accredited DTPs in the United Kingdom. The bid for renewed funding has been successful and from 1 October 2017 the SGSSS will be one of the ESRC's 14 Doctoral Training Partnerships (DTP).
