Kursusindhold
The course is an intensive two-day residential course at a location
outside DTU. The student needs to prepare a presentation of his/her
PhD project, participate active in lectures and exercises and write
a synopsis of the two-day course.
Basic concepts of statistic and experimental design will be
introduced, including what programs is available and where you can
get help as a PhD student at VETBIT. Responsible conduct of
research in life science will be discussed including proper
documentation and storage of scientific data.
Project management will be addressed and we will discuss how to
write a good study plan and why this is important, including
formulation of hypothesis and research questions, aims, short and
long-term goals. Students will learn how to administrate a PhD
project at DTU, and we will discuss dilemmas that might arise
during a PhD study and touch upon supervisor relationship,
self-management and work life-balance.
Participants will be introduced to the writing of scientific
papers, review process, impact factors, open source, ranking,
H-index, ethics in publication, and co-authorships. We will discuss
other ways of communication as conference, abstracts, posters, and
oral presentations and how to deal effectively with the press and
media. Networking with fellow VETBIT students, the scientific
community and at conferences will be questioned. PhD fellows will
be invited and share experience regarding external stay, we will
further discus how to plan a research stay abroad.
