The PhD Day is an annual event taking place in January as a joint venture between the PhD Association and the Graduate School of Health, Aarhus University. The day seeks to bring PhD students together and network across the broad diversity of scientific fields within health sciences that are represented at the faculty.
The PhD day takes place on 24 January 2020 and the theme is “Innovate and Initiate – from Academia to Business!”
We are proud to present our keynote speakers: John Haurum and Paul Zak are both entrepreneurs and scientists and will give sublime insights on how to innovate and initiate, bringing research from academia to business.
Furthermore, we hope you will seize the opportunity to engage with the invited investors and company representatives from e.g. Novo Holdings and the Lundbeck Foundation - no matter whether you want to brainstorm on how to innovate your project, exchange ideas or develop a business idea.
The PhD Day is concluded with a dinner party at Centralværkstedet, Værkmestergade 9, 8000 Aarhus C.
Join your colleagues and peers for a festive evening. A three course meal will be served, and there will be free drinks (soft drinks, beer and wine) during dinner.
The evening will also include the awarding of the JCD prize, the Health Student Research prize anf the 3R prize. Furthermore, the winner of the Fogh-Nielsen prize competition will be announced and there will be a festive speech. After dinner there will be music from a DJ and dance.
The evening starts on Friday 24 January at 6:30 pm and finishes at 02:00 am.
The price for all this is DKK 195,00.
Register for the party - deadline for registration is 16 January 2020.
PhD Day is a mandatory part of the PhD programme at Health. It is expected that all PhD students participate in PhD Day at least twice during the enrolment period with an abstract and a presentation or as co-chair. Absence due to e.g. maternity/paternity leave, sick leave, illness, or studying abroad is of course allowed.
Once you have submitted your abstract, you are automatically signed up for participation in the PhD Day.
All supervisors are invited to participate in the PhD Day, and to contribute as chair for an oral, a poster or a flash talk session.
Participation in the PhD Day does not grant ECTS (as of 1 January 2019).
