Postgraduate Research Students Conference
Postgraduate Research Students Conference 2026
The 30th postgraduate research students conference of the German Historical Institute London will take place on Thursday 26 and Friday 27 February 2026. The Conference aims to give postgraduate research students from the UK and Ireland working on German history the opportunity to present their work-in-progress and to discuss their research with other students working in the same field.
This conference is intended for postgraduate research students studying German history from the Middle Ages to the present at a UK or Irish university. PhD students at all stages are encouraged to apply. All participants will be expected to briefly present their research projects, but if capacity is limited, preference will be given to second- and third-year students.
A course on German Palaeography is planned for the first day of the conference. Should you wish to take part, please indicate your interest in your application. Please note that places will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
