Doctoral school

The Amsterdam UMC together with the University of Ghana organize a highly interactive summer school on advanced academic writing, featuring international academic experts.

Peer to peer group coaching (in Dutch, intervisie) is experience driven. The content of the meetings is determined by the participating PhD candidates themselves and therefore has relevance for daily practice and needs of PhD candidates.

Many academics experience an overly one-sided emphasis on research performance, resulting in an excessive urge to publish and an even higher workload. Other qualities of academics, such as teaching, impact, leadership and patient care, remain underexposed as a result. But this is changing thanks to the national program Recognition & Rewards which seeks to rebalance the perception of academic work. As an academic employee, you are key to this change.

IXA organises a series of workshops, trainings and programms on various topics around valorisation and entrepreneurship, like protecting inventions, collaborating with external partners and sharing research knowledge with outside parties.

VU and UvA both organize sessions to prepare you to the defence ceremony.

All medical devices that are developed or adapted within Amsterdam UMC for patient care or for scientific research must be registered. If you have developed or adapted a medical device, please read here what you need to do.

In order to contribute to a pleasant and safe PhD working environment, the Doctoral School wants to actively do something with the information we receive from the coaching conversations. For this reason, we drafted a reporting and signaling plan to enable us to signal and help with recurring problems with departments and/or supervisors.
