IPRNmail Arctic Frontiers PhD/student workshop

PhD/student workshop


In concert with Arctic Frontiers, the ARCTOS network will arrange a student workshop – "BIO-8516 Arctic Frontiers PhD/student workshop" (master students may apply, but PhD students are prioritized). As part of the workshop, students have to participate in the entire conference, political and scientific part and give a presentation (oral or poster).

After the conference, they will embark on a 5 day seminar to Lofoten, during which they will prepare a proposal for funding to an imaginary research grant. The proposal will be presented and evaluated on the last day of the workshop. During the workshop there will be lectures about proposal writing as well as cultural events. The workshop is multidisciplinary and thus suitable for students from any scientific field.

It is an official PhD level course at the University of Tromsø worth 4 ECTS. Master students cannot receive any ECTS. Travel and conference funding is available for workshop participants. To be eligible for the course, applicants must have a poster or oral presentation accepted at Arctic Frontiers.
