The Groningen Graduate Interest Network (GRIN) is the PhD representation organization at the University of Groningen. Their primary goal is to bring PhDs and policy makers together within the whole University and improve the PhD experience in Groningen.

Dialogue

They facilitate a dialogue on policy between representatives of the University, such as the Groningen Graduate Schools, and representatives of PhDs, such as PhD councils and PhDs active in co-governance.

Empowering PhD councils

They empower PhDs and PhD councils to function at their best by informing them of their rights and helping them to reach their goals.

Improve PhD policies

They improve PhD policies by raising current PhD issues and thinking about solving these on the policy-level. If you have suggestions, do not hesitate to contact them via:

The PhD Day is an annual event organized in Groningen by PhD students for PhD students. The goal of the PhD Day is to broaden your research and career perspectives, as well as strengthen a sense of community between PhD students from different disciplinary, educational and cultural backgrounds. During PhD Day, a variety of workshops are offered - which you will not easily find elsewhere - thereby yearly attracting hundreds of PhDs from different disciplines from all over the Netherlands. That is what makes PhD Day the biggest one-day career events for PhD students in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg - and one of the biggest in Europe!
