GEN-8001: Take control of your PhD journey

Writing a PhD benefits from the acquisition of competencies outside of the specific study, e.g. being aware of current academic norms, knowing how to retrieve, evaluate, and treat sources, being up-to-date about open access publishing, and handling scientific research data according to best practice. Take control of your PhD Journey: From (p)reflection to publishing is an annual seminar series designed for PhD students in their first year, coming from all fields of study.

The seminar series consists of five seminars:

1) Academic integrity and the transparency of science

2) Literature search

3) Open access publishing

4) Research data management

5) Reference management (EndNote)

The seminar provides the participant with 2 ECTS points. For more details, application deadlines, requirements and assessment, go here.
