Activities for members

Work in progress discussion seminars

During these sessions, students present and obtain feedback on their respective texts and provide critical-constructive comments on other students' work. Senior researchers may also be involved in giving feedback to the presentations.

Monthly training sessions

Through our monthly workshops, SUM Research School seek to develop doctoral students' professional skills related to teaching, media and communication, publishing, policy relevance, research ethics etc. The programme is developed from student demand.

Postdoc seminars and meetings

We organize seminars and meetings through the year to facilitate for furthering SUM's postdoctoral research fellows’ understanding of the researcher role and competence as such, while also facilitating for exchange of views and experience among colleagues.
