ICEA Graduate Student Workshop
The Graduate Student Workshop at the ICEA (International Congress on Educational Administration) has been a key feature of the congress since its inception in 2017. Held annually, the workshop provides graduate students with a unique platform to explore the transition from graduate education to academic life. Designed to support students at various stages of their academic journey, the workshop focuses on critical areas such as refining research processes, developing impactful thesis topics, and fostering collaborations at both national and international levels.
Through interactive sessions, mentorship, and practical guidance, participants gain the skills necessary to navigate the complexities of graduate education, while also preparing for future academic and professional success. The workshop encourages networking, sharing of ideas, and building connections within the global academic community.
