The PhD Teaching Community is meant to facilitate all PhD's who are interested to learn about education and ourselves as teachers. To support you in your educational career and to facilitate engagement between PhD's from different faculties, we offer four tracks throughout your PhD trajectory at VU for which you can subscribe and unsubscribe at any moment. In this form you can tell us your preferences at this moment. If preferences change, you can resubmit your preferences. Based on all interests of PhD's (gathered from this google form), we will decide what to plan/create/facilitate/build with priority within our PhD Teaching Community and what might further be nice to develop in future with less hurry.
On
the website of the PhD Teaching Community (Tab 'Curriculum') you can read all about the four tracks. To summarize these:
