PhD retreat

The PhD Council organizes an annual two-day retreat. It provides an ideal opportunity to present study results or research plans to fellow PhD candidates. Besides scientific content and workshops/masterclasses, there will be plenty of opportunities to connect with colleagues and keynote speakers.

  • Although we had to wait for two years due to the COVID pandemic, the RIHS PhD retreat finally took place on April 21 and 22 in Pathé Nijmegen. We feel it was worth the wait! A record number of over 200 PhD candidates registered to the retreat and enjoyed our program.

    The peer review groups are meant to reflect on real life situations in which you were struggling and for which you want to find possible solutions. By discussing these situations with peers you will learn a lot about yourself as well as how others deal with situations. Examples of such situations are dealing with colleagues who do not honor agreements or with difficult meetings. Thus, the emphasis of these meetings are not on the contents of your PhD, rather, it is about your personal development.
