INGRoup Doctoral Consortium 2025
INGRoup proudly announces the Annual Doctoral Consortium to be held
immediately before the INGRoup conference in
Rotterdam! The aim of the consortium is to support the development of the next
generation of interdisciplinary group researchers via an inspiring consortium
titled:
“Dream Big, Fund Your Future,
Publish Smart”

The consortium will combine a social lunch
where you have the opportunity to pitch your future
research ideas, a hands-on workshop on writing grant applications, and an
engaging panel discussion with action editors on publishing successfully in
high-impact journals.
Who can attend?
We have space for 30-50 PhD students who are
in their final 2 years of their program and who are members of INGRoup. If you are not currently a member, now is a great
time to join INGRoup, so that you can qualify for our
consortium.
When and where is the consortium?
The consortium will be held on Thursday, July 17th, 2025
from 12:00 - 4:30 PM at the Rotterdam Business School campus. Below
we outline the program points in a bit more detail. Each program point will
span across approximately 90 minutes. The exact location and agenda will be
shared with participants prior to the consortium.
What does the program entail?
1.
Lunch Pitches: Exploring Future
Research Horizons
The doctoral
consortium will open with an informal and engaging lunch session where
researchers can pitch their dream projects and future research ideas—no matter
how ambitious or out-of-the-box they may seem! This is a space to explore the
“what ifs” and “why nots” that could shape the future of your field if
resources and time were unlimited.
Whether you envision
interdisciplinary collaborations, revolutionary applications of emerging
technologies, or innovative approaches to team challenges, this is your chance
to share your ideas in an informal atmosphere. You will have three minutes each
to present your ideas and get feedback from fellow PhDs and experienced team
researchers.

Securing Research Grants:
Strategies, Skills, and Success Stories
Navigating
the grant application process can be daunting, but it is an essential skill for
emerging scholars. This session is designed to demystify the journey of
securing funding, offering PhD students invaluable insights and hands-on
guidance. Connect with a senior scholar from your research area who have
successfully navigated the grant landscape and are eager to share their key
learnings. The key components of this sessions are:
● Building a roadmap for crafting competitive grant
proposals
● Developing strategies for tailoring proposals to
specific funding opportunities
● Receiving actionable feedback on your research
funding ideas
● Connecting with an experienced mentor and
like-minded peers to reflect on your grant ideas and applications

Publishing Successfully - Tips and
Strategies from Action Editors
During this panel
discussion, experienced action editors will provide insights and advice on
navigating submission and revise-and-resubmit processes at key journals in the
field of group research. Our consortium hosts will kick off with a few
questions to guide the discussion, followed by an open Q&A session where
the audience is encouraged to seek advice and clarify concerns about publishing
challenges.
