PhD Courses in Denmark

To give the students knowledge about new literature within plasma physics and fusion energy and to practice scientific communication skills and discussions

A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

• Conduct a systematic and scientific information search
• Select relevant scientific publications
• Explain results and conclusions from publications
• Criticize and defend the applied methods
• Relate conclusions to own research projects
• Communicate methods, results, and conclusions to other PhD students
• Argue scientifically in a discussion
• -

The course consists of presentations of scientific papers from high-profile journals by the PhD-students. The subjects for the chosen papers should deal with plasma physics or fusion energy. The purpose of the paper, results, and conclusions must be presented, and a critical discussion of the methods and the results should also be included. The student should also emphasize what the new issues in the paper are, and how these can contribute to his/hers PhD project
