Every two years, ESSWE organizes a Thesis Workshop for MA students and PhD candidates. Coinciding with the ESSWE board meeting in non-conference years, the workshops create a unique opportunity for graduate students to discuss research related challenges and career opportunities with established scholars in the field.

The next ESSWE Thesis Workshop will be held in 2024. More information will be made available soon.
