Vilnius University PhD students participated in the Arqus PhD Week
The third Arqus PhD Week took place in Granada on May 9 and 12 to discuss career opportunities outside academia. 30 PhD students and career development experts from nine universities in the Arqus Alliance gathered to explore new professional fields. Over four days, a wide range of training sessions were held, with 10 international career development experts addressing relevant topics such as the skills and competences needed for employment in the private sector, project development, open innovation, career development in knowledge transfer and more.
Doctoral students from Vilnius University also participated in the third Arqus Doctoral Week and agreed to share their impressions:
“It was very insightful and interesting…Trainers for each session were exciting and shared all the possibilities to improve a career inside or outside academia.”
“I made many connections, shared many experiences, and got important advice regarding my career path and even for some everyday tasks.”
“I found some of the sessions very useful (on skills, competences, start-ups, the workshop on interviews and customer feedback).”
“The selection of speakers was really very good, and I particularly enjoyed the discussion on the prospects and possibilities of the PhD in a discussion format. I also really liked the participants (other PhD students).”
“I really liked the speakers, you could feel that they were very knowledgeable in their fields. The practical sessions were very well organised and useful.”
“During the event we were given information also already used some tools (mydocpro.org, competency list, interview checklist) which are useful for putting together our CVs, thinking about how to prepare for a job interview. I will use this when I have defended myself and decide to look for a job elsewhere.”
The PhD Week is developed in the framework of the Arqus PhD Pursuit, the Alliance’s initiative that stands for bridging research and education to prepare early-stage researchers for existing and emerging grand societal challenges by enhancing their international competitiveness inside and outside academia and contributing to regional and European innovation strategies.
