PhD research is an important driver of innovation in global health. Yet the social relevance of this research often remains limitedly visible outside academic circles. With our PhD symposia, we are changing this.
We support the organisation of accessible, substantively strong symposia in which PhD students link their research to current issues within the Dutch healthcare context. By bringing science, practice and policy together, we create space for dialogue, reflection and new collaborations.
Central to our symposia
Our symposia focus on:
- Visibility: making PhD research accessible to a wider audience, including healthcare professionals, policymakers and community partners.
- Social relevance: explicitly linking research to challenges within Dutch healthcare practice.
- Collaboration: fostering new connections between researchers and organisations seeking to make an impact.
Set up
We organise compact, content-rich half-day symposia to make participation approachable and accessible. The programme consists of a combination of presentations by PhD students, contributions from experts and space for interaction with the audience.
