Morning sessions
Theo Mulder
Professor Theo Mulder is the overall director of the sixteen Academy institutes. He will introduce the Academy’s organisation and talk about supervising PhDs and preparing them for their future careers.
Elevator pitches
One PhD student at each Academy institute will be invited to present a one-minute elevator pitch about that institute.
Plenary session: The 5 Secrets of a Successful PhD
How can you get the most out of your PhD? The plenary morning session consists of an interactive presentation by Linda van der Wal. Linda’s session will include exercises and show you how you can immediately apply new techniques in everyday practice. Above all, the session is funny and entertaining. One of the things you will learn is a technique scientifically proven to increase your impact at meetings within two minutes.
Linda has a background in social science and more than ten years of experience as an independent trainer and coach. She has helped thousands of smart professionals increase their impact, develop their leadership skills, and take the next step in their career.
