The Snekkersten Research Retreat

The Snekkersten research retreat is an absolute MUSKOS highlight. The retreat is our scientific and social celebration of the academic year, and each year several national and international experts are invited to speak, participate, and engage with MUSKOS affiliates. Starting in 2014, the retreat has been held annually and it something everyone looks forward to.

The scientific program changes from year to year, but some components are always included. This includes presentations by PhD students with professional feedback, sessions on generic content relevant to all PhD students, such as research methodology and career development, and a dinner featuring social and scientific activities like the famous Snekkersten PhD Cup. Some of the best abstracts submitted to the Snekkersten Retreat are selected for the PhD Cup and the submitting PhD-student is invited to give a 2-minute presentation of the abstract without the use of any audiovisuals.
