Current PhD Students > PhD Day

PhD Day 2012

10 May the annual PhD Day gathered more than 400 students, supervisors and guests from various fields of the health and medical sciences.

265 posters were the point of origin when PhD students presented their research to supervisors, chairmen and fellow PhD students in the passages and corridors of the Panum Building.

The three best poster presentations each received a prize of 5,000 DKK.

 
Oral presenters
Based on the submitted abstracts, 10 students were chosen to make oral presentations of their research in the Lundsgaard Lecture Hall. The best oral presentation was rewarded with 20,000 DKK and the honorable title of being "PhD student of the Year 2012".

Key note speaker, Professor of Bioethics Peter Sandøe, rounded off the day with an interesting and highly relevant presentation “Ethics and Excellency - a dilemma or a win-win?”
