Course description
Objectives and Content
Objectives: The subject aims at giving the students an increased possibility to fulfil the thesis with high quality and a high level of research competence.
The subject contributes so that the students expand their network outside their own research group. This will contribute to an increased collaboration and translation between different research areas. The candidates will accordingly have an increased knowledge outside their own project.
Content: The subject consists of a series of seminars with a variation of topics. Some of these are set by the research school, while others are initiated by the participants and their needs.
Primarily there will be a series of seminars arranged by the research school, but also other meeting points for the PhD-candidates: Journal club and Social arrangements, summer- and Christmas arrangements, and gatherings in relation to the arranged seminars.
Examples from the later years: External finances, staying abroad, given topic at the dissertation.
