Two weeks ago, on Tuesday May 21st our university launched a new service: Hora Finita.
This service offers our PhD candidates the opportunity to get and keep full control over their trajectories. At your faculty we implement the service gradually, starting with the registration and graduation modules and in time followed by the monitoring service.
The annual report gives an overview of the Graduate School's activities and course evaluations in 2018. In addition, it describes the goals for the coming year(s). The annual report includes an interview with postdoc researcher Talitha Stam, who won the PhD Excellence Award for Best Impact 2018.
The NWO Domain Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) encourages excellent research in the research areas of the social sciences and the humanities. Various funding instruments are available to this end. The results from this research benefit science, as well as societal organisations, the cultural sector and industry.
As a PhD candidate you are likely to conduct empirical research, and often this entails collecting and analysing data about people, i.e. personal data.
The EGSH takes its legal and ethical responsibilities very seriously. Therefore we have set up a section on our website that contains a number of links and instruments that will help you assess how you need to work with your data.
You can find this information in our Research section.
