2023/09/28 - 2023/09/28 | O PubhD Coimbra é um evento mensal que convida 3 alunos de doutoramento a explicar os seus projetos de investigação num ambiente
descontraído, no bar Liquidâmbar. O evento conta com a participação de alunos de doutoramento de qualquer área, tal como Engenharia,
Matemática, Biologia, Direiro, História e Ciência Sociais, que têm 10 minutos e apenas um quadro branco para apresentar o
seu projeto de forma a que o público em geral compreenda. Esta iniciativa foi lançada em Nottingham em 2014 e está agora espalhada
por vários países da Europa.
