Event on May 19: Internationalization During Doctoral Studies

Hi everyone, 

DocSoBe warmly invites you to an event on the 19th of May regarding internationalization during doctoral studies!

Doctoral researchers are increasingly encouraged to engage with the international academic community. However, information and support for internationalization are not always easy to access. In the event, three doctoral researchers will talk about their experiences on internationalization, going on research visits & creating international networks during their doctoral studies.

The event will also feature a panel discussion, where the speakers will reflect on their experiences and answer questions from the audience. The speakers of the event are Toni Rajala (Doctoral Rsearcher, University of Turku and Chair of DocSoBe), Haeran Jeong (Doctoral Researcher, University of Turku) and Rasmus Gudmundsson (Doctoral Researcher and Visiting Researcher, Mälardalen University, Sweden). The event is in English.

Lunch at Panimoravintola Koulu is included. The event is free of charge.
