Workshop "Speeddating"

Do you want to know more about doing research at the University Medical Centre Groningen (UMCG)? Are you curious about the possibilities of doing a PhD-programme in the Netherlands? Or do you just want to talk with students who have come from abroad to do research in Groningen and ask them for advice? Then the workshop speeddating in just the thing for you!

During the congress two workshops will be organized in which you get the chance to come into contact with researchers from the different Research Institutes of the UMCG (more information about the UMCG Research Institutes can be found under Research in Groningen). They will tell you everything about their current research projects, about their departments and about what doing research at UMCG is like. You can choose between research topics of your interest.

There will also be the possibility to have a talk with PhD-students, who have come to Groningen from abroad. You can ask them all kind of practical questions: for example, how to apply for scholarships in your own country as well as in the Netherlands, how to find housing in Groningen, and what the Dutch culture is like. But you can also ask them more research-orientated questions, like how to write a good research proposal.
