Welcome to your PhD and Postdoc Association
University of Copenhagen Association of Post-Doctorates and PhD students (UCAPS) represents all Postdocs and PhDs across all faculties.
Since UCAPS was established in March 2018, we’ve been working towards:
1. Uniting and supporting PhDs during their degree
2. Creating a common and independent voice for PhDs
3. Providing a platform for discussing topics, issues and policies
4. Promoting a healthy work-life balance
5. Organising faculty-wide social and professional events
The UCAPS team currently consists of Danish and International PhD students from different faculties. Together we aim to get all the faculties involved in all the decision-making and plan events that cater to all PhDs regardless of their field of study.
We are an independent association, but we work closely with Copenhagen University officials to raise any issues we find important to discuss, and make sure our voice is heard. We also have representatives in the national PhD Association of Denmark (PAND), and work together with other PhD Associations in Denmark.
Since 2024, we have expanded to include all the Post-Doctorates (postdocs) of University of Copenhagen. We believe it is very important for all the postdocs to also be represented and have a unified association across the different faculties.
We are always looking for new volunteers to join us, so please contact us at ucaps@ku.dk if you want to get involved. Feel free to share your ideas and suggestions with us and help shape the future of UCAPS!
