Course description
Course content
At the Department of Biomedicine the midterm evaluation is organized by the Phd-coordinator. The PhD-board will appoint an evaluation committee consisting of two members.
Before the midterm evaluations, candidates must submit a progress report addressing:
- Scientific activities and results
- Publications
- The training component
- Plan for completion and estimated submission date
- Any problems or other comments
At the midterm evaluation, the candidate holds a public presentation of 20 min duration held in English. After the presentation, the candidate, supervisors and evaluation committee withdraw for a discussion. The committee will also speak to the candidate alone, in the absence of the supervisors.
A candidate with poor progression within one or more areas will be followed up individually.
