Overview of the course
Completing a doctorate is a dream for many – but it can also be very lonely and stressful work. We often focus on the content of our work, but sometimes we forget to pay attention to our own work process, or how we work, think and act. Nevertheless, this process is crucial to completing our work on time and feeling good along the way.
Target group
Doctoral students at Uppsala University from all faculties, regardless of whether you are at the beginning, in the middle or near the end of your doctoral studies.
Aim

Content

• Workshops on academic productivity
• Workshops on academic writing
