PhD days November 11‑12
Welcome to the PhD days for all doctoral students at NMT! This event will provide you with knowledge and insights a researcher needs which may not normally be offered during the doctoral education. This is also an opportunity for you to get to know other doctoral students at the faculty.
All doctoral students at NMT are invited, including industrial PhD students and PhD students employed at NMT but admitted at other universities. The organizers expect attendance to be high, so please try to make this a priority. Non-attendance can also be registered in the form below.
To travel from Östersund to Sundsvall please use the campus travel cards (which you can get here). For travels from other locations, please use the travel booking system for employees (found here). Please note that overnight stay at Elite Hotel Knaust is available for all participants, including PhD students based in Sundsvall.
The PhD days are organized by the PhD study directors at NMT: Oskar Englund (NDH), Kristen Snyder (KKI), Christina Dahlström (IMD) and Börje Norlin (DET)
