AquaClim- Water Research School
The Water Research School was formed to provide research education in water at a high international quality. We offer courses to PhD students and industry. We form a community of PhD students, their supervisors, and collaborators in the water industry in Sweden. We do this through our courses, and in our networking activities and a mentor programme.
Luleå University of Technology
Graduate school - PhDstudents from all over Luleå University of Technology participate in Creaternity's graduate school because it is important to create a holistic view in order to be able to tackle the sustainability challenges. The graduate school includes courses and other activities to provide PhD students with knowledge and tools to be able to determine how the earth's resources are used in the best way.
Stockholm University
The Climate Research School is a research school that spans over several departments and research areas within Stockholm University and the aim is to establish a common platform for climate research.
In short, the CRS organizes, coordinates and administrates interdisciplinary climate related courses for PhD students and organize activities and events that promote networking between PhD students within the Bolin Centre.
CRS also give financial support allowing PhD-students to participate in conferences, field courses and workshops. Members of the CRS will also have the opportunity to enter the popular Bolin Centre Mentoring System.
To strenghten the climate research CRS is collaborating with ClimBEco at Centre for Environmental and Climate Science (CEC) at Lund University. This widens the possibility to participate in courses and workshops - see ClimBEco
BioResearch School - The Stockholm University BioResearch School organizes PhD-courses for students at any of the Biology departments at SU no matter their subject area. Hence, all courses are open for all students unless otherwise stated. In addition to subject-related courses, the BioResearch School organizes introductory course, obligatory for all PhD-students in Biology and a requirement for those expected to participate in teaching, as well as other general interest courses and special events, such as workshops and the annual PhD-day. Many of these activities provide ample opportunities for trans-disciplinary interactions and networking with students working on a broad range of problems.
Uppsala University
The Biology PhD School is open to all biology students at Uppsala University. That includes students in all three biology departments (ICM, IEG, IOB), as well as students from other departments within the Faculty of Science and Technology who feel that they would benefit from increased interactions with biologists.
Our main goals are to:
- Connect and Inspire: Foster a connected community of PhD students across biology
We will organise a PhD Symposium (early February 2023) for PhD students to increase the interactions between departments and buildings (BMC and EBC).
- Contribute to Interdisciplinary Training: Facilitate key learning opportunities across biological disciplines
