Participation

Doctoral students who have started their studies since the last orientation days in January will recieve a personal registration link by email, but also doctoral students who have started their studies before that are welcome to participate. The Doctoral Orientation Days have been planned for doctoral students, but doctoral researchers employed by Aalto University, who have not yet received the study right for doctoral studies are also welcome to participate.

Please register to participate by 28.5.2023 via Webropol: https://link.webropol.com/ep/doctoralorientationjune23 (or through the personal link all new doctoral students receive by email).

The Orientation Days are held on campus. However, it is possible to follow some parts of the programme remotely as well. If you are not in the Helsinki region during the Orientation, but would like a chance to follow the presentations online, please email us at [email protected] by 28.5.2023.
