For a three-day writing seminar beginning Monday 4^th May, UiODOC will collaborate with Mathew Stiller-Reeve PhD (who runs writing workshops for early career scientists) to provide a virtual space for PhDs and postdocs to meet up, learn and discuss writing. This virtual space will be packed with useful activities like:

-Lectures on writing skills

-Brain warm-up exercises

-Shut-up-and-write sessions

-Small discussion group meetings

The PhD completion seminar is a full day seminar for PhD candidates at the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences supporting them in the final period of writing the popular scientific summary, preparing for and executing the trial lecture and defence.  

In this edition of the PhD (and Postdoc :)) Breakfast Club, we will be focusing in on what EU grants there are to apply for, and how to apply for them. 

Free Breakfast will be served from 8.30, so sign up below. Start your day well!

Dr. Matti Nykter, Professor at the Tampere University, Finland, will present the lecture "Computational analysis to understand aberrant gene expression and treatment induced responses in prostate cancer."

We invite the citizens of Oslo to an indoor light event with glimpses of life sciences at UiO. Free entrance for the duration of the event.

We have invited the oldest children in a kindergarten to join us "Programming: Bees and Flowers" at the Museum of science and technology.

The workshop will bring together people from different disciplines inside and outside academia in order to enable a dialogue on mimicry as a productive concept to understand and juxtapose industrial chemicals and synthetic hormones.

Nowadays the amounts of data generated presents unique opportunities in research and technological innovations. This also raises a range of challenges, including data standards, analysis and visualization, as well as ethical considerations such as data protection, privacy and ownership.

In this symposium we want to explore the increasing role that data plays in our lives. The event will explore research and technological innovations that involve data and the society.
