Content
  • Preparation: Instructions for preparing presentations and posters can be found on the PhD-Day website: http://phdday.wix.com/2018. Please pay attention to the theme of the PhD-Day.

  • The presentation workshop: The PhD students will improve their presentation skills by practicing their presentations in the presence of an audience. The students receive feedback from the PhD-Day Organization Committee, the other participants, and the lecturer from the Department of Natural Science Didactics

  • PhD Day: The PhD students present their work in oral do their presentations and/or display their work on posters. These are assessed by an assessment committee (TBA). A prize will be awarded to a participant in each category (talk or poster) at a ceremony at the end of the day.

  • Two keynote talks with leading international researchers

  • In addition, networking and Q & A with the invited speakers during the two poster sessions.

Statement of objectives:

Communication

The main objective of this PhD course is to provide the participants with a structured way of effectively communicating their research with the guidance of experts and other students. Participants will work on individual projects that relate to their PhD project. At the end of the course, the participants must present their results in the form of either a poster or an oral presentation.

Networking

A secondary goal for PhD Day is to stimulate networking and create new interdisciplinary collaborations. This improves the institute's research while at the same time teaching the PhD students to think more creatively and innovatively.

Community

We also hope that the PhD Day, as a social and scientific event, will help build bridges between research groups and sections and will strengthen the community between PhD students.

Literature

The PhD students selected for presentations (talks and posters) based on their abstract, can find guidelines for each type of presentation on the PhD-Day website: http://phdday.wix.com/2018. Here you will find criteria, good advice, on how the various presentations are best kept and suggestions for further material in the field. Based on these guidelines, PhD students create and conduct their presentation.
