What competences do you need to get there?

What competences do you already have?

How can you fill these skill gaps?

Develop your career plan together with us!

We’ll serve lunch for participants after the workshop.

A series of courses will be organized at European universities affiliated with EUGLOH.

Many of the activities are aimed at building competence and skills that can be useful in developing a research career. Others are focused on themes such as biology, health, business or sustainable development.

EUGLOH is a university alliance, of which UiT is a partner, that collaborates to find solutions for global health challenges through education, innovation, and research.

The alliance consists of nine European partner universities, which now collectively encompass 338,500 students, 54,000 academics, and 112 faculties and schools.

To facilitate close collaboration, EUGLOH prioritizes making exchange between European campuses as simple and practically accessible as possible.

Therefore, EUGLOH covers expenses for travel and accommodation if you wish to participate in short-term academic activities with physical attendance.

You can also participate in joint educational activities between European campuses via online platforms.

If this sounds interesting, I recommend taking a look at the list of activities below, which have a registration deadline in September.

Best regards, Kim Bredesen, Communications Officer, UiT

Til alle stipendiater og postdoktorer ved UiT

Jeg vil gjerne tipse dere om at det til høsten blir arrangert en rekke kurs /workshops/seminarer/webinarer på europeiske universiteter tilknyttet EUGLOH.

Flere av aktivitetene er rettet mot å bygge opp kompetanse og ferdigheter som kan være nyttige når det gjelder å bygge opp en forskerkarriere. Andre fokuserer på temaer som biologi, helse, næringsliv eller bærekraftig utvikling.

EUGLOH er en universitetsallianse, hvor UiT er partner, som samarbeider om å finne løsninger for globale helseutfordringer, gjennom utdanning, innovasjon og forskning.

Alliansen består av ni europeiske partneruniversiteter, som nå knytter nå sammen 338.500 studenter, 54.000 akademikere og 112 fakulteter og skoler.

For å legge til rette for tett samarbeid prioriterer EUGLOH å gjøre utveksling mellom europeiske campuser så enkelt og praktisk tilgjengelig som mulig.

EUGLOH dekker derfor utgifter til reise- og opphold hvis dere ønsker å delta på kortvarige faglige aktiviteter, med fysisk oppmøte.

Du kan også delta i felles utdanningsaktiviteter mellom europeiske campuser via nettbaserte plattformer.

Hvis dette høres interessant ut, anbefaler jeg å ta kikk på listen med aktiviteter under, som har påmeldingsfrist i september.

Mvh Kim Bredesen,

Kommunikasjonsrådgiver, UiT
