Network at the Doctoral School's events

The Doctoral School organises many events throughout the academic year. In our events, the doctoral researchers receive information, gain tools for research and opportunities for collaboration. We cover topical issues such as doctoral studies, research funding, mobility and finding the dream job after your doctorate. For example, at our monthly Morning Coffee meeting you get to connect and network with other doctoral researchers. You can participate in our events also online.

Orientation Day

We start each semester with an Orientation Day for our doctoral researchers. During the event, we present our wide course offering and introduce Tampere University as your research environment. In addition, we share tips on research funding, supervision of doctoral dissertation and the wide range of services available to you. The orientation material is available to you throughout your doctoral studies.

Morning Coffee

We arrange monthly Morning Coffee meetings. We choose the themes collectively to support the work and life of doctoral researcher. The guest speakers, the Doctoral School's staff and your peers discuss current issues in doctoral studies and share useful tips for research.

Mobility Café – event on international mobility for researchers

Each semester, we organise an event on international mobility. The experts at Tampere University tell you about possibilities available to you and the support you find for your mobility. You also get to hear the experiences –when to go and how to do it– from your peers.

PhD Supervisors' Coffee

The coffee meetings for supervisors provide a venue for formal and informal discussions on doctoral research. We share the latest trends in PhD supervision and tools for developing transferable skills in doctoral studies. The meetings are led by expert speakers who provide their knowledge on high quality supervision.
