This one-week activity is designed to help doctoral candidates address typical challenges that arise during their doctoral journey.
This initiative brings together EUGLOH Alliance PhD candidates to discuss, exchange ideas, build networks, and strengthen professional development while fostering awareness of a shared European academic culture.
The programme focuses on topics inherently linked to the PhD journey and the common challenges it entails. By discussing these challenges and developing coping strategies together, participants can proactively shape this important period. Overcoming such hurdles is one of the most significant and formative aspects of the PhD experience.
Experienced trainers from the EUGLOH partners in Munich, Lund and Hamburg — all actively involved in the supervision of doctoral candidates — provide expert input on key topics such as motivation, productivity, communication, supervision, good scientific practice, and the question, ‘What comes after the doctorate?’
The EUGLOH Living Labs is a collaborative initiative bringing together students, researchers, and staff from EUGLOH partner universities to co-create innovative courses in experimental, real-world learning environments.
The EUGLOH Living Lab Crafting My PhD Journey by Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) with University of Hamburg (UHH) and Lund University (LU) supports decision-making and resilience, helping participants plan their academic and professional paths.
