On 12 December, HSO PhD candidates demonstrated a strong commitment to scientific innovation by taking part in a networking visit to Mid Sweden University (MIUN) in Östersund.
The event was arranged by Dr. Carmen Kuhn (HSO) and Prof. Dr. Lars-Eric Rännar (HSO) from the Graduate Academy, along with Dr. Stefan Granlund from MIUN. The visit provided a valuable platform for strengthening international academic exchange and fostering long-term cooperation between the institutions. It also highlighted the importance of mobility and networking opportunities within doctoral education.
Throughout the visit, the program concentrated on the candidates discussing their research, supported by training sessions on research ethics, AI usage, and planning different phases of doctoral work. These sessions encouraged critical reflection and offered practical tools to support the candidates in their individual research journeys. The interactive format allowed for in-depth discussions and peer-to-peer learning in an interdisciplinary setting.
Participants benefited from exchanging perspectives and experiences across different research fields. The programme also included visits to the various MIUN laboratories, where exciting concepts on additive manufacturing and materials experimenting were put to the test. These lab tours provided hands-on insights into state-of-the-art research infrastructures and ongoing projects at MIUN. They also opened up opportunities to explore potential synergies for future research collaboration.
