Descriptions of the keynote and workshop
KEYNOTE: ACADEMIC CAREER, 4 MAY by Johanna Isosävi and Camilla Lindholm [language of the keynote is English]
In our keynote, we focus on tools for career planning for PhD candidates. We discuss issues related to goal setting, recognizing your values, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Further, we deal with the importance of writing a long-term strategic career plan, and we guide you in writing your academic mission statement. In our talk, we focus on many demands of the academic career and how to juggle between different tasks. We also encourage you to engage with wider audience, and give you tips how to communicate about your research. Finally, we emphasize that whether you want to pursuit in the academic career or elsewhere, the skills you have learned during your PhD are both valuable and transferable.
WORKSHOP ON ACADEMIC WRITING, 5 MAY by Johanna Isosävi and Camilla Lindholm [language of the workshop is English]
You are most welcome to join our workshop on academic writing on 5 May. In the first part of the 2-hour workshop, we introduce the publication pipeline: why is it important and how does it help you to plan and monitor your writing? Furthermore, we discuss tips for academic writing and for the writing process, such as prioritizing writing, creating healthy and sustainable writing routines and how to go from draft to submission while feeling less stressed doing it. In the second part of the workshop, we demonstrate the benefits of social writing – getting started, writing, and winding down together – to overcome writing-related obstacles.
