This one-day workshop will be an occasion for PhD Students at different stages in their research and from different institutions to gather and share ideas, methodologies and knowledge, in an informal but academic environment. There will be four panels of work-in-progress presentations by PhD students researching in different but related areas: from European heritage film to Scandinavian TV drama, from European film industry and policies to national identities in films and TV series. Mariana Liz (University of Leeds) will also be delivering a keynote lecture on ‘The ongoing significance of Euro-pudding’.

The panels will be followed by a series of expert-led training sessions on: (1) using statistics for film and television research, (2) interviewing industry professionals, and (3) developing the impact of research beyond the academy.

The event is being organised in partnership with the European historical drama in the digital age conference.
