Early Career Aquatic Seminar (2)
DTU National Institute of Aquatic Resources
The course is set up as a seminar series. Students will participate in seminar sessions, which involve presentations of ongoing research, discussing selected articles, and engaging with peers and guests. Each student participating in the course will present once every semester. Students can present their own PhD research, as well as a scientific topic related to their research. Each student participating in the course will organize and chair a seminar session once every two semesters. Through presentations and discussions, students will learn to put their research into a broader context, understanding how different fields within marine science interconnect.
Learning objectives:
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:
- Evaluate methodological concerns of their research project(s) in response to feedback from peers and PIs
- Explain the key aims and objectives of their research project(s)
- Describe the scientific and applied (societal) aspects related to their research project(s)
- Present and defend their research findings orally
- Describe experimental, technological and modeling techniques commonly used in marine science and evaluate which is most appropriate to address a scientific question
- Discuss emerging issues shaping the future of marine research
- Evaluate how their own research contributes to the broader field of marine science
- Conceptualize, organize and chair a scientific session, keeping track of time, and managing questions
Contents:
The course will equip PhD students with advanced knowledge across a range of aquatic research disciplines, including oceanography, food web interactions, ecophysiology, fisheries management, aquaculture and fisheries technology, and ecological modelling. The students will gain understanding of these concepts through discussions of selected articles, presentations of their own PhD research, and presentations by other early career scientists and PI’s. This will provide students with interdisciplinary competences and the ability to put their own research work into a broader context. Students will be responsible for chairing one session each semester.
