Webinar details:

Informatics Europe wants to support and grow a thriving community of 
European PhD researchers and invites you to contribute to defining and 
growing this community.

  * Meet like-minded PhD students from across Europe
  * Network
  * Share challenges and experiences
  * Learn from each other
  * Influence Informatics Europe’s action in this area

What are your challenges as a PhD student, especially in COVID times? 
What experiences can you share that would help others in a similar 
situation? What additional support would you find useful?

Here are some examples of challenges PhD students face during their studies:

  * Doing the research itself (literature reviews, theory, methodology,
    critical thinking),
  * Engaging with management (managing their time, managing their
    supervisors),
  * Collaborating with others e.g., co-authorship, proper credit for
    their contributions,
  * Engaging wider stakeholders (e.g., participation recruitment).
  * Looking after yourself, especially as a result of COVID

In this webinar, we provide space for facilitated, small group 
discussion with feedback.

The webinar is co-led by Prof. Dr. Geraldine Fitzpatrick and Prof. Dr. 
Austen Rainer: two experienced Informatics academicsas well as 
facilitators of Informatics Europe’s Academic Leadership Development Course.

We look forward to meeting you at our webinar!

Yours sincerely,

Informatics Europe
