Introductory meeting
The Amsterdam Doctoral School in coordination with ASAP, the PhD Candidate Association, holds introductory meetings for new PhD candidates. During these meetings, PhD candidates get an introduction to both the Doctoral School and ASAP, including a brief overview of their activities and services. Doctoral School staff are also on hand to get acquainted and answer your questions.

Newly registered PhD candidates are invited to these online introductory meetings by email. The meetings take place monthly (every first Thursday of the month) from 16.00 to 16.45, and new PhD candidates are welcome to attend a meeting that suits their schedule. Attendance is free of charge. Supervisors are also welcome and may attend without a formal invitation.

For August and January no meetings are scheduled

Note: If you have not received a formal invitation and you would still like to attend one of these meetings, please send us an email indicating your preferred date (month).
