#ELIS4us at the Graduate School of Health and Medical Sciences aligns with our vision to provide world-class research training where high research ambitions, wellbeing, and a strong community feeling among our students and faculty are core elements.

We know that feeling a sense of belonging within a research community is essential for successfully completing a PhD, and in the last couple of years we have made several initiatives to enhance this process. This includes onboarding courses for new PhD students, coaching sessions, PhD supervisor courses with a focus on crossing generation gaps, and redefining the role of the PhD coordinators to make them more active participants in the social lives at the workplace of our students.

We will keep working on enhancing the well-being and community feeling for our students, and therefore we are happy to be part of the ELIS initiative.
