Sharing the PhD journey This week Sarah Hudson, Le Quynh, Bradley R. Stone and I represented Rennes School of Business in a series of doctoral events at CREDS Norway and Service Research Center (CTF) at Karlstad University Sweden. Over the past few days, we travelled between the two campuses at Kongsvinger and Karlstad, passing through some stunning countryside. During the week, doctoral students at all three institutions took part in a number of interactive workshops, discussing their work, sharing ideas and reflecting on the projects of others. The PhD process is also a journey of discovery that is often portrayed as a lonely struggle. But the experiences of this week show that this journey can be more fulfilling when shared. As we travel together we share stories. We recount anecdotes, linking different themes and topics together, and create a train of conversation. Through this creative wayfaring, we connect and retell old stories and jokes in new ways. In the same way, when we share our research journey, we open up new possibilities for discovery as we connect our research with the projects of others. Good travel companions are also good listeners, getting to know the other through their stories, putting themselves in their shoes, and inviting them to ‘fill in the gaps’. Research also rests on the bedrock of good listeners, good colleagues, and attentive peer reviewers. Through their selfless work, these critical friends improve our work, by inviting us to also ‘fill in the gaps’. Travelling in such a beautiful place as Norway and Sweden involves both keeping your eye on the road (and potential stray moose), and letting your eye wander beyond the fence, over the fields and into the distance. Equally, the PhD journey involves the determination to pursue and reach a final destination, whilst remaining open to new possibilities to wander beyond pre-planned paths. In the process, one must balance the need to stick to the schedule and the journey, whilst also being in the moment and reflecting on opportunities for creative diversions. A massive thanks to Rolf Gunnar Findsrud Gabriel Linton Johan Kask Bård Tronvoll and Carolina Camen (CTF) for organising such a great event #PhD #research #journeys

Retired Senior lecturer, Cambridge. Computing, information security, knowledge transfer and international student recruitment
Delighted to have been invited to participate yesterday in the latest of a series of workshop events organised to support international students by Uoffer Global Ltd. The event 'Real PhD : Advancing research excellence' began with a keynote on the PhD which was then illuminated by short talks that offered further insight and guidance on the practicalities and the great opportunities for PhD study in the UK. The proceedings were leavened by workshops with the student audience, panel discussions led by the speakers and students and a prize draw! Happily there was a chance to network and it was good to meet the speakers; Steve Jones (Manchester University), Trevor Grimshaw (Bath University), Austen Rainer & Thoma Gamestar (Queens University Belfast) and (briefly), Manolis Mavrikis (University College London). A couple of takeaways: Firstly, it was interesting to hear of the PhD's origins in Germany as something of an apprenticeship in advanced research. During my PhD days I recall a venerable member of the department telling me I was simply there to learn how to do research, (easily said). Secondly, it seems that many prospective PhD students, particularly international students, often look to QS and other University rankings to shortlist the departments to apply to. This strategy has a major drawback however; it risks overlooking the many centres of globally recognised research excellence that thrive within the lower ranked institutions. The message is of course do your research, dig deeper! (And if you're interested in high level research in Electrons, Comms. or IT, take a closer look at what is on offer at Queens University Belfast). 😁

The recently held 3rd FICCI Industry Academia Conference 2024 on "Transforming higher education through industry partnerships",__ a need of the hour topic for bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. By collaborating with industry leaders, universities can provide students with hands-on experience and relevant skills that meet market demands. These partnerships drive innovation, enhance research opportunities, and foster a culture of continuous learning and adaptability. FICCI had organized various panel discussions where I as a panelist discussed on *"Promoting Multidisciplinary Research for Institutional Excellence: Faculty Development, Governance, and Innovation."_Multidisciplinary research is the cornerstone of institutional excellence. By integrating diverse fields of study, we not only address complex global challenges but also drive innovation and discovery. Effective governance and robust faculty development are critical to fostering this collaborative environment. As thought leaders, we must champion the synergy of disciplines to transform academic landscapes. Our collective expertise will pave the way for groundbreaking solutions and sustainable progress. As thought leaders, we must advocate for these collaborations to ensure that higher education remains dynamic and responsive to the evolving needs of society. Together, we can create a more integrated and impactful educational ecosystem." #highereducation #education #ecosystem #universities #somaiyauniversity #academics #development #industry
