Free Interactive Webinar for PhD Students in Informatics
Informatics Europe wants to support and grow a thriving community of European PhD researchers and invites you to a free interactive webinar titled "Thriving as a doctoral student in informatics" held on 8 October, 10:30-12:00 (CET). Please register here.
At the webinar, you will contribute to defining and growing this community:
- Meet like-minded PhD students from across Europe
- Network
- Share challenges and experiences
- Learn from each other
- Influence Informatics Europe’s action in this area
What are your challenges as a PhD student, especially in COVID times? What experiences can you share that would help others in a similar situation? What additional support would you find useful?
Here are some examples of challenges PhD students face during their studies:
- Doing the research itself (literature reviews, theory, methodology, critical thinking),
- Engaging with management (managing their time, managing their supervisors),
- Collaborating with others e.g., co-authorship, proper credit for their contributions,
- Engaging wider stakeholders (e.g., participation recruitment).
- Looking after yourself, especially as a result of COVID
In this webinar, we provide space for facilitated, small group discussion with feedback.
The webinar is co-led by two experienced facilitators and Informatics academics:
Prof. Dr. Geraldine Fitzpatrick, TU Wien, Austria,
Prof. Dr. Austen Rainer, Queen’s University Belfast, UK.
Building from this webinar, Informatics Europe invites participants to be part of an ongoing European PhD community to continue the conversation about how we can support each other and about how IE can support the community. In particular, we want to encourage PhD students to take a lead on championing and addressing the identified issues, with IE’s support.
We look forward to meeting you in this rewarding webinar. Register now!
