Monthly PhD Labs offer COI PhD researchers an opportunity to present their work and receive specific feedback about their projects in a supportive and collegial environment.

On a monthly basis, PhD researchers connected to COI@Leiden participate in PhD Labs to present their research and receive feedback from others. Each lab focuses on the work by one of the COI PhDs. Special editions of these Labs also take place twice a year: a Winter Skills Lab in which they learn skills that are relevant to conducting (empirical) research on institutions for conflict resolution, and an overarching Summer Lab during which all COI PhDs present their research and receive feedback from each other as well as senior researchers. The PhD Labs are conducted internally and are not open to the public.
