About the Ph.D Network

The PhD-network was founded in 2000 by the Center of Civil Society Studies of the London School of Economics.  Since then the best PhD students in the field of third sector and civil society studies around Europe were invited to annual network-meetings in London, Dublin, Stockholm and Tilburg. In 2006 the network-meeting was hosted by the Research Institute for Nonprofit Organisations at the Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration), one of the members of the CINEFOGO Network of Excellence. 

About the Meeting

The 6th meeting of the Ph.D-Network on third sector and civil society studies took place in Vienna on 25-28 May 2006.

The main goals of the network-meetings are:

• To create a forum for PhD students working on the voluntary or third sector and civil society issues
• To present their own work to a group of peers and allow them to benefit from the feedback of fellow students and the advise of a group of faculty
• To introduce students to theories and approaches in the field
• To discuss current or future research topics
• To allow the students create a network with other students from other European countries and other faculties and disciplines.
