It will also contribute to the integration of PhD students with their colleagues from European and Brazilian Universities, as well as with international researchers.

Format and Activities
The doctoral colloquium will feature lectures delivered by internationally recognized researchers on key issues in contemporary accounting research. In collaboration with faculty members from Iscte and USP, these guest scholars will actively review and discuss the research proposals submitted by participating doctoral students through structured, in-depth sessions. These discussions are designed to provide rigorous academic feedback, offer methodological and theoretical guidance, and foster the intellectual development of each project.
Research proposals employing either quantitative or qualitative methodological approaches are welcome.
