Testimonials

"If you want to hear firsthand what it's like to do a PhD, there's no better place than PhD Student Symposium. A relaxed atmosphere with an already experienced team will show you how much you can help. This is one of the rare opportunities where even as a student you can be involved in the organisation of Symposium, which will definitely be a big plus in your CV."

"The PhD Student Symposium was a great opportunity to take a sneak peek at the PhD life for a graduate student who is at a crossroads of their academic life. To be a volunteer means getting a chance to talk with so many amazing young scientists who are always equipped with insightful answers to your questions, gaining experience in organizing a unique event and forming many private and professional connections. Anything can be accomplished with a great team and the PhDSS team is amazing!"
