1. Company visit: Dentsply Sirona
 
To build bridges between the world of research and enterprises, Hasselt University and Voka – KvK Limburg join forces by organising company visits, during which junior researchers are given the opportunity to discover the ins and outs of a company. The first visit will be at Dentsply Sirona. The visit will focus on the organisational structure of the company and the different jobs/roles that are possible and will offer you a deep dive into production/services during a guided tour. It will end with a networking opportunity during lunch. The visit takes place on June 19, 2023 (10:00-13:00). More details and registration here.

2. UHasselt-doctors gezocht voor de Vlaamse PhD Cup 2023

Ben je in de voorbije twee jaar tot doctor gepromoveerd? Dan daagt de Vlaamse PhD Cup je uit om je onderzoek met iedereen te delen: zonder voetnoten of specialistentaal, maar gebracht als een helder verhaal. Na een intensieve vierdaagse mediatraining volgt de ultieme uitdaging: “Kun jij de kern van je doctoraat uit de doeken doen in een heldere presentatie van drie minuten?” De inzet: een opleidingsvoucher voor de Vlerick Business School t.w.v. 5.000 euro, een ticket om een college te geven bij de Universiteit van Vlaanderen en kans op een boekpublicatie bij Academia Press. Alle info en voorwaarden op www.phdcup.be - inschrijven kan t.e.m. 7 juli 2023.
