Once every semester

The aim of the course is to increase knowledge and reflection in the area of specialization of the PhD student and to develop ability to link own research to new methodologies and society.

The course consists of sub-blocks, each of which focuses on a series of seminars related to aerosol science. For each sub-block, the following shall be met:

1. The PhD student shall participate in about 5 seminars (on a scientific level), that are determined in advance together with supervisor/examiner
2. The PhD student writes a report for each seminar consisting of a) short summary, b) analyses including literature search and c) a reflection on application in own research area.
3. The PhD student discusses the seminars in group together with a course examiner.

When all steps are performed for one sub-block, the student receives 1 credit.

be able to summarize the presented research clearly and concisely.
demonstrate knowledge about the methods and discourse in the research area.

demonstrate the ability to analyse and critically review current research.
demonstrate the ability to independently identify issues and proposals that could develop or improve research.
demonstrate the ability to discuss research orally.
demonstrate the ability to review and evaluate present research.

demonstrate intellectual independence in assessment of others' research.
demonstrate an understanding of the limitations and merits of the evaluated research.
reflect on the value and benefits of the research conducted within their own area of specialization.

Admitted to postgraduate studies. The course is open to all PhD students.

Seminariematerial och vetenskapliga artiklar inom seminariets område..

Seminar material (hand-outs, slides) and scientific articles in the area of specialization for the PhD student.

The course can give a maximum of 5 credits and is ongoing continuously during the postgraduate studies. Unlike the course "Reading Course in Aerosol Technology" (MAM001F), the seminar course builds on lectures, tutorials at conferences and presentations with the purpose of broadening the understanding of the research education topic and linking own research to new technologies and surrounding society. Seminars/ tutorials are selected together with supervisors in such a way that they do not overlap with other postgraduate courses.
