The seminar represents a basic platform where the mentor and the doctoral student meet and discuss the progress and issues of the thesis. The main aim of the seminar is continuous supervision of the disseration project – both its textual and its creative part (according to the individual needs of the doctoral student). The content of the seminar reflects the phase of the student's individual study plan. During the initial semesters the focus is on heuristics and so the essential part of the tutorails consists of recomendations of relevant adademic literature and other relevant resources (archives, institutions, people) connected with the subject of the thesis. In the following semesters, students gradually shift their attention towards their own research and work on the dissertation in both its aspects.
