During the first part of this seminar, PhD students will receive information and advice from the Chairs and discuss how to improve the presentation of a paper and how to organise papers in such a way that these papers conform to the standards required to have them published. In addition an importance of the empirical research for the practice will be highlighted.  The structure of PhD theses will be analysed and differences between a paper based on an empirical or theoretical research will be pointed out and how these should be reflected in the theses. Following questions could be considered: Are outcomes  of  your research relevant and useful for the  practice? If yes, how and in which part of the theses it should be argued?  In which forms could these outcomes be delivered to practitioners? Is there any potential to write a good policy paper based on your research?
