The BUP announces the CAPABLE PhD Students Training

The CAPABLE (Common Academic Practices and Abilities in Learning for Research) project aims to provide knowledge, skills, and network opportunities to PhD students at BUP participating universities focusing on a sustainability topic relevant to the Baltic Sea Region. Accepted students will receive mentoring and feedback on their thesis, as well as training in academic development, such as academic writing, academic presentations, critical thinking, development of research arguments, and much more. 

The training has three parts: an online seminar series, a PhD student conference in Uppsala, and an online course on academic pedagogics 

The project is financed by the Swedish Institute (SI) and the BUP. The project is a part of the SI Baltic Sea Neighbourhood Programme, a special call for Ukraine. We will welcome a total of 50 PhD students, 26 Ukrainian students, and 24 students from BUP participating universities in other countries. All students will have their costs of accommodation and food covered, Ukrainian students will also receive financial support for their travels via the project.
