This newsletter provides an overview of all upcoming activities for PhD students organized by the doctoral schools and links to other potentially interesting events or information.

More details on, and registration links for, upcoming activities are available on the website of the doctoral schools. When you enrol for a doctoral school activity, make sure to take our cancellation & no-show policy into account. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact us at all times on doctoralschools@uhasselt.be.

Do you have interesting ideas or opinions which could contribute to a strong PhD community within Hasselt University? Then share your voice and become a member of the PhD council! This council is open for official (and future) PhD representatives and for any PhD student who would like to engage in many interesting meetings. Interestingly, any PhD student can take the role of representative.

The council has a three-fold approach. First, it fights for the interests of PhD students at meetings organized by the university's various committees and boards. Second, the council holds bi-monthly gatherings where PhD students share possible issues they face. Afterwards, these issues are communicated to the responsible department at UHasselt by the council's representatives. Third, the council wishes to start organizing community building activities such as after-work drinks.

Why don't you give it a go and join us here to contribute to our vibrant PhD student community.
