Doc+ Dialogues: Thriving in Academia
Doc+ Dialogues gathers doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, alumni and interested faculty around questions that shape academic careers. Grab a seat at Marsio and join the conversation.
What's On: The Doc+ Calendar
What's new and next for doctoral researchers, postdocs and faculty. A short list, not a full one. Stay up to date with Doc+ activites from skills courses to tours, socials and everything in between.
The Doc+ calendar is about the New and the Next. Courses, panels, lunches, tours and socials for researchers in Aalto across all six schools and also for Doctoral Alumni. It is not everything. Our campus collaborators like Doctoral Education Services, Career Design Lab and Aallonhuiput keep the full picture on their own pages, and we link you onward. We highlight and co-develop, they host.
Together we create regular chances to develop practical working life and career skills, meet people outside your own research area and build a living and curious doctoral community exploring the diverse Aalto offerings. Come as you are !
New and Next!
Links constantly updated as the registrations open.
Provost Kristiina Mäkelä, Aalto University”Doc+ started as an idea and is now a menu of ways to connect: panels, visits, conversations that cut across schools and career stages. I'll be joining some of these myself this year. Come along."
