EVENTS WITHIN THE “LABORATORY OF IDEAS” FOR PHD STUDENTS

Within the framework of the Jean Monnet module “EU Experiences for Enhancing Youth Employability through Professional Skills Development”, funded by the Erasmus+ program (ERASMUS – JMO -2021-MODULE -SKILLS4JOB-101047867), a series of workshops and seminars “Laboratory of ideas” – 5 events (10 hours) were held.

The events were held by the Ph.D., Associate Professor, of Accounting and Taxation Department Serpeninova Yuliia, during Оctober 2024 for PhD students of Sumy State University.

The purpose of these events was to raise PhD students’ awareness of the necessary competencies to obtain scientific grant from the EU funds.

During the events, Associate Professor Yulia Serpeninova discussed the following topics:

  • Grant opportunities in EU for PhD students
  • Researcher Profile: professional experience and web presence
  • Metrics of scientific journals
  • Grant application documentation
  • Research proposal structure

The series of workshops and seminars proved to be very useful for the PhD students, as it helped them to better understand the requirements of the granting agencies and how to improve their chances of employment in the EU.

The ERASMUS+ project SKILS4JOB continues to actively promote the preparation of students for international employment and provides them with opportunities to improve their skills and enrich their knowledge in line with the requirements of the modern labor market.
