PhD Workshop Fika

Dear all,

On March 8th (Monday, 14:30) we are planning an extended fika (with fikabröd and everything!).

We think it is time to discuss this year’s DSV PhD workshop: what should we aim at? What do you want to get out of it? What can be improved from last year? Please come and give us feedback, comments, ideas, thoughts, anything!

We have booked the seminar room 7501. ALL PhDs welcome (both KTH and SU)!

Hope to see you all there!

SWEDEN: Aiming for 5,000 foreign PhDs

One in four doctorate candidates in Sweden are foreign citizens. There were 4,179 of them in 2008 in a PhD student population of 16,900, an increase since 1999 of 62%. Of newly-recruited doctoral students in 2008, 32% or 1040 people were foreigners, up from 19% in 1999. The annual increase was 19% between 2007 and 2008 alone, indicating a significant change in the recruitment pattern.

“Almost half the graduated doctorates from abroad still live in Sweden five years after graduation”
