| PhD Retreat 2011 |
Information
Yearly, NCMLS PhD students gather for the NCMLS two-day PhD Retreat. PhD students in their last year present their work in oral presentations, other PhD students present their work in posters. In addition, a keynote speaker is invited for the evening program. Apart from the science, this event is valued for the opportunity to meet and get to know fellow-PhD students.
Objectives
- Present scientific data (oral presentation or poster)
- Discuss data presented by others
- Get into contact with fellow-PhD students
Components
Scientific programme
A) PhD students in the last year of their PhD project:
- Oral presentation (10 minutes + 5 minutes discussion, in English)
- Chairing of lecture sessions
B) Other PhD students:
- Poster presentation (in English). This is not obligatory for students who started their PhD project in 2012
