PhD Dissertation Network

The PhD Dissertation Network was established in 2001 as a forum for PhD students at an early stage of their programmes working on voluntary or third sector and civil society issues at LSE and other institutions. A number of annual seminars were held in subsequent years. There is now a loose federation of people who act as the organisers of this Network currently entitled The European PhD Network on the Third Sector and Civil Society. The next meeting will be held in Muenster, Germany, in 2007. PhD students interested in the network should contact Annette Zimmer (zimmean@uni-muenster.de) or Matthias Freise (freisem@uni-muenster.de).
