UiODoc is ready for the year's very first PhD and Postdoc Breakfast Club! We hope you will join us in listening to Matthew Good's timely talk about his Digital Scholarship Center project and the increasingly important digital research.

The pandemic, while still ongoing, has already had a dramatic impact on UiO activity and highlighted issues with implications that are yet to be fully grasped. This panel discussion is an attempt at opening up a UiO-wide conversation that will enable influential voices in the university research environment to share their experience and perspectives on this situation. Specifically, we will focus on: 

• How does COVID-19 affect early career researchers?

• What are the institutions doing to mitigate the impact?

• What are foreseeable difficulties on the implementation of such measures?

UiODoc is proud to host a Christmas quiz this 17 December at 12:30 pm. Let’s test and stretch those brain cells for the last time this year and right before the Christmas break (and before the longest year ever ends aka 2020).
