We invite all PhD students at KU to join our General Assembly on the 30th of September at 16:00, ON ZOOM. We will quickly tell you what UCAPS is all about, and hopefully inspire you to become a part of the board. We ESPECIALLY ENCOURAGE the first year PhD’s to join, partly because we believe that UCAPS will give you a network and opportunities that you can use in the rest of your PhD, and partly because you get to stay on board for longer and can make significant changes in a large organisation such as KU. Even if you don’t want to or can’t join the board, you are still most welcome to attend, to hear what UCAPS has been doing and for YOU to tell us what YOU think is the most important task to take on in the future.
Agenda:
- Approval of Chair and the Rapporteur of the meeting
- Introduction to UCAPS
- Introduction to PAND
- Input from participants to UCAPS (via padlet)

General Assembly March 2019

Location: Studenterhuset Main Hall
PhD Education Conference 31st of January 2019
One of the aims of the massive intake of PhD students in the course of the last decade was to increase the proportion going into the private sector. However, the proportion has roughly stayed the same. Combined with an overcrowded academic job market, with many temporal positions and limited prospects of tenure, there is a need to bridge the gap between academia and work life outside universities for PhD students.
With talks and exploratory workshops, involving PhDs and stakeholders/policymakers, the conference will find ways to improve the ability of the Danish PhD education to prepare PhD students for working outside universities.
Arranged by University of Copenhagen Association of PhD Students (UCAPS), the PhD Association of the University of Southern Denmark (PAUSD) and PhD Association Network of Denmark (PANO) in collaboration with the Carlsberg Foundation.
