NEUROSYSM910 Neuro-SysMed Junior Scientist Symposium

The objective of the symposium series is to provide the PhD candidates with valuable skills in oral presentation techniques while presenting their own research as well as dissemination of the research of others, provide opportunities to engage in scientific discussions, and to take advantage of peer reviews and comments to strengthen the scientific quality of own research and scientific thinking. A main ambition is also to strengthen the scientific networks and to encourage candidates to establish relations to scientists.

The symposia are organized 4 times annually, twice every semester. Each symposium is organized with a keynote lecture initially (45 min), followed by 4 PhD candidates/postdoctoral researchers who present their work (25 min each including the oral presentation and discussion). Subsequently, there will be final discussions. The presentations will be of own research with special attention to presentation techniques and quality. The symposia are chaired by coordinators recruited from postdocs and PhD candidates within Neuro-SysMed. The first Junior Scientist Symposium has its kick-off January 18, 2023. Attendance provides 3 ECTS if the candidate has participated in minimum 4 symposia, written and submitted 4 scientific reports of scientific presentations at the symposia, and presented own research at one of the symposia. See coming symposia in the Neuro-SysMed calendar.

Other researchers are also welcome to attend the symposia!
