ChemSchool aims to strengthen the doctoral-level chemistry education in Norway and equip future PhD graduates with the competencies and skills that are needed by industry and academia to tackle the challenges that society is facing. To achieve this goal the research school host specialized PhD courses, organize workshops and conferences. 

Through ChemSchool the PhD students will have access to a suite of high-quality courses, which gives a diversity of courses that are not possible for the individual institutions to have available for their PhD students at their own campus.
