Content
Are you interested in studying abroad during your PhD?
Do you want to get any tips on what it requires to go abroad for your change of research environment?
All PhD students at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences are required to spend part of their programme in another research environment.
During this meeting you can get answers to (almost) all your questions about going abroad and get inspiration on how to get started organizing your stay abroad.
Rikke Buhl, Professor, and Head of Graduate School, will talk about why you should go abroad and what requirements the Graduate School has.
Carina Belle Jensen & Josephine Kjøller Bertelsen (International Staff Mobility) will talk about what help the university can give you and what to do about taxes and other practical aspects.
Two speakers will talk about their study abroad experiences as PhD students: how they planned it and what they gained from it academically and personally.
Finally, you get the chance to ask all the speakers some questions.
