What makes VELUX Daylight Academic Forum special?
Controversially to the stressful exams, where the students are judged for their knowledge, the VELUX Daylight Academic Forum creates a friendly, supportive and encouraging atmosphere to strengthen your work and identify unique points of research based on constructive feedback.
“You don’t have a feeling it is judged or criticized, you have a feeling that everybody tries to help you and make your work better” – Aicha Diakite, PhD student Technische Universität Berlin
The VELUX Daylight Academic Forum provides you with an opportunity to improve your research paper by focusing on the research methods and purpose rather than results.
“A lot of conferences focus on results and there is very little time for the discussions how you arrive there” – Steve Fotios, Professor at University of Sheffield
It is an excellent environment for you to enhance your network, meet future colleagues and share interesting ideas with people from your research field with no registration or admittance fee.
Why do you need to participate?
This year as in previous events you will have individual presentations of each research project in smaller groups, as well as constructive discussions with scientific experts providing you with valuable feedback and guidance.

- Answers related to your research
- New ideas and valuable feedback for your research development
