Programme Doctoral Education Day
Join us for a day of interactive lectures, debates and showcases of activities! We invite you as a PhD student, supervisor, postdoc and junior/senior faculty.
Come and learn how to be an effective and professional researcher - whether you are a PhD student, supervisor, postdoc or junior/senior faculty.
Focus during this day will be on skill sets that will be useful throughout your career: time management, rigor and reproducibility, mindfulness and career preparation.
Take part in a debate about the relative merits of preclinical and clinical research. There will be something for everyone during this day when we celebrate the research and doctoral education we offer at KI!
