CAPABLE PhD student training 2024
The Baltic University Programme (BUP) can proudly present the CAPABLE PhD student training 2024, a three-part training series open for PhD students from BUP’s participating universities.
The CAPABLE (Common Academic Practices and Abilities in Learning for Research) project aims to provide knowledge, skills and network opportunities to PhD students completing their PhD at a BUP participating university and focusing on a sustainability topic relevant to the Baltic Sea Region. Accepted students will receive mentoring and feedback on their thesis, as well as training in academic development, such as academic writing, academic presentations, critical thinking, development of research arguments and much more.
The training has three parts.
- Online seminar series
- PhD student conference in Uppsala
- Online course on academic pedagogies
The project is financed by the Swedish Institute and The Baltic University Programme.
Online seminar series
Between September and November 2024, accepted PhD students will be welcomed to participate in a four-part seminar series, focusing on academic development and techniques. Each seminar is two hours long and will take part online using ZOOM. Accepted students are expected to actively participate in the seminar which contains lectures, discussion and exercises. In order to obtain a full (complete) diploma from the training, the participant is expected to attend at least three out of four online seminars that will be hosted during the autumn of 2024.
