Introduction

In our onboarding sessions we like to welcome all new PhD candidates to the Erasmus Graduate School of Social Sciences and the Humanities (EGSH). Our onboarding sessions are held online, in an informal setting, and with small groups. We offer these sessions four times a year to tell you as new PhD candidates about who we are and how we hope to help you with our courses and services. We’ll also ask you to introduce yourself and tell us about any questions you may have.

In addition, in the first/second/third/fourth onboarding session (Date), Prof Dr Thea Hilhorst will offer a short introduction to the important topic of safety and security in field research. More information about this topic can be found on the full course page, here: https://www.egsh.eur.nl/doctoral-education/phd-course-guide/onboarding-session-phd-candidates/

We’re looking forward to meeting you!
