AUPA Conference: PhD Qualities

Working on a PhD degree includes a wide plethora of tasks, but which of the resulting skills are most important to highlight after the dissertation? To help answer this, Aarhus University PhD-association (AUPA) would like to invite you for our event on qualities in PhDs that are sought-after in industry or academia.

The event will include presentations and QA with a representative from Arla, a professor from Chemistry and an AU alumnus 

After the speakers the PhD and Postdoc Activity Group has arranged a fun social exercise to help collective reflection on the day's topics

Lastly the event will conclude with free pizza and drinks for everyone!
