2.9 The dreams and fears of the PhD in your team (G)

Anneloes Kip, Ana Hriscu, & Ross Hamilton
Join us for an engaging and interactive workshop designed to foster meaningful conversations between PhD candidates and participants. In this session, participants will have the unique opportunity to interview PhD candidates, delving into their dreams, fears, and needs. Together, we will explore the aspirations, anxieties, and requirements of the academic of 2035 and discuss what support universities should provide as employers.

Participants will collaborate in groups to create posters that capture the collective insights gathered during the interviews. These posters will be presented to all attendees at the end of the workshop, highlighting common themes and innovative ideas.

The primary goal of this workshop is to shed light on the position of PhD candidates and the uncertainty they face regarding their future academic career paths. By participating, you will contribute to a crucial dialogue on how universities can better support their emerging scholars, ensuring a brighter and more secure future for academia.
