This year’s highlights
Each year the PhD Council organizes a two-day retreat for all RIHS PhD candidates: the ideal opportunity to present and discuss your research plans and study results. Besides the exchange of (scientific) content via oral presentations, keynote lectures and workshops, there will be opportunities to connect and interact.
This year’s highlights are:
Keynote lecture by Marcel Levi
Up until a few months ago, internist Marcel Levi helped to guide the United Kingdom through the COVID-19 crisis as CEO of the University College London Hospitals. Currently, he is back in the Netherlands to work as chair of the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and Professor of Medicine at the University of Amsterdam. His comprehensible way of speaking and charismatic personality made him a regular guest at talk shows such as BEAU and Jinek. He will give a keynote lecture on how he built his (scientific) career, from young scientist to professor.
Keynote lecture by Louise Gunning-Schepers
Louise Gunning-Schepers is currently an emeritus professor of Health and Society at the University of Amsterdam, but has fulfilled many more functions. As chair of the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities and Royal Schiphol Group, president of the Health Council, and independent expert of the Social and Economic Council, it is not surprising she has been elected multiple times as the most influential woman in Dutch healthcare, education, and science by the magazine Opzij. She will give a ‘College Tour’-style interview during the PhD retreat, during which you also have the opportunity to ask your questions.
Workshop Impact with science
Stephan van Duin from The Online Scientist will give a workshop on how to use the different aspects of science communication, and how they contribute to your impact as a scientist during and after your dissertation: message, goal, design, audience, media, and websites. Stephan will showcase the value of a clear message, how to use social media, and how to design content so it’s more appealing. This workshop will use practical examples and real-life case studies to stimulate you to get the most out of your work: now, and in your future job!
Pubquiz!
In line with the tradition we will close the Thursday evening with a Pubquiz. A professional quiz master will challenge you and your fellow PhD candidates with varied and challenging questions. In teams you will battle for the everlasting honor of winning the Retreat Pubquiz! Excitement and a lot of fun guaranteed!
