Examples of Past Working Groups and Activities
Digital Degrees
LiUPhD is lobbying for an improvement of the digital degrees, and the option to get a stamped and signed paper degree. As PhD students may enter the international job market it is especially important that the doctor certificate is recognized not only in Sweden but on an international level.
Past members: Klervie Toczé, Claudia Schnitter, Sarah Bloem
Summary Issues Digital Degree Certificates.pdfMigration Information

Science Expo
LiUPhD has organized regular science fairs in collaboration with Mjärdevi Science Park to showcase academic work and foster interaction between PhD students and industry.
Members: Viktor Werner, Lucija Batinovic
Covid-19 Barometer
We developed an online survey to get a better picture of how PhD students at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the Faculty of Educational Sciences and the Technical Faculty are affected by the pandemic and by working in distance mode. The barometer has led to prolongation of contracts at some departments.
Members: Hannah Pelikan, Viktor Werner, Klervie Toczé, Alexandra Kapeller, Elisabeth Klint,
