What is PhD/i?

PhD/i is a UG-wide learning community for interfaculty PhD candidates and their supervisors, which was launched on March 16, 2023.

Is this for you?

Are you doing or supervising an interfaculty PhD project and does your research connect the content and methods of two faculties? If so, you undoubtedly face specific challenges. How do you work out a supervision plan with a PhD and/or a co-supervisor from another faculty and discipline? Which publication strategy makes the uniqueness of the research most visible? And, how does it best align with the career prospects and desires of the PhD and supervisors? At the UG, there are about 70+ ongoing interfaculty and many more interdisciplinary PhD projects. Connect with your peers to share your challenges, experiences and solutions.
