In an informal setting, EGSH dean Esther Rozendaal or one of the Deans of our faculties will host a conversation with Erasmus University scholars and PhD candidates on a theme that has their interest.

Recognition and rewards
In this meeting we invite PhD candidates to reflect with us on how we can further develop and improve the university's new perspective about recognizing and rewarding excellence. Traditionally, academic excellence is determined in terms of how many publications staff produce and how many funding they acquire. The university is now activey broadening the spectrum of excellence to domains such as education, social impact, leadership and care for others. More information about this important new policy can be found here.

Transdisciplinary PhD research
A more profound understanding of today’s complex world can be reached with interdisciplinarity, where research disciplines learn from each other’s knowledge, insights and methods. In this meeting we will reflect on what such interdisciplinary means more concretely, how it can be fostered and organized, but also on possible methodological, epistemological and organizational pitfalls and barriers.
Hosted by:
dr. Esther Rozendaal - Dean Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities
