ORPHEUS conference on doctoral studies

The stated mission of Orpheus (Organisation of PhD Education in Biomedicine and Health Sciences in the European System) is developing and disseminating best practices within PhD training programmes. In this context great achievements have been made and several universities have received the Orpheus label. The time is now ripe to look further ahead. Scientific research has perhaps never been as challenging as it is today and offered as many exciting opportunities.

How will PhD candidates and their supervisors meet ever-increasing challenges of modern science with its competitiveness, complex technologies, massive databases and sophisticated mathematical analysis beyond human brain power?
Such challenges will call for innovative and creative thinking, flexibility and diversity in approach as well as intelligent support and feedback. These are the themes of the 13th Orpheus conference.
