During the webinar, PhD candidates and post-doctoral fellows had the opportunity to ask the dean and the research directors all the questions they had during this corona crisis. Nice to see how much dedication there is among the young researchers to restart the research work, but we also realize that there are so many more problems they face during this period.

A period of isolation that affects the mental state, a period of doubt about the principles and possibilities with their thesis, a period of worry about renewals of contracts and need for information about when research can restart again.

Missed the webinar? Watch it back online.

Because of the many questions about the restart and the contact persons in case you experience problems, below a brief review about these topics.
