PhD Introductory Course on Drug Research
At the end of February, we had the PhD Introductory Course on Drug Research for starting PhD candidates from LACDR. This 3-days event took place at Castle Oud Poelgeest, a great location to be completely out of the work environment. We welcomed 30 PhD candidates, with whom we had an inspiring and also relaxed time. Beside the serious part of the course, there was ample time to get to know each other.
The program was set up to get informed about LACDR, its different divisions, but also its partner organizations from the Leiden BioScience Park. There was a workshop on social and psychological safety to get awareness and guidance how to speak up. Furthermore there was a workshop presentation skills, in preparation to a 3-minutes research pitch. There was also attention for a variety of topics such as intellectual property, the PhD Association LACDR and the Diversity and Inclusion group.
Many thanks to all contributors and PhD candidates who have participated!
