Welcome to Engaging with Society
Description: Aalborg University is fundamentally about applying research in service for the society. Quoting the AAU research strategy:
The Aalborg University research strategy can be expressed in four words: "From research to change".
This course is devoted to PhD researchers having a cross-disciplinary or natural-technical basis, and we want to create a room for reflection of own practice.
This course is devoted to PhD researchers having a cross-disciplinary or natural-technical basis, and we want to create a room for reflection of own practice.
Being applied have implications for the need for interaction, and the aim of the course is to set focus on the importance of the researcher and of the theory use for the research. Therefore, the participants will be asked to bring own their research to foster reflections that can feed into research practise.
The course is a combination of workshop sessions divided by inspirational presentations from researchers giving perspectives nurturing the reflections.
In the course, we will focus at how the research approach influences the change-implications of the research, elucidate possibilities for change agency and critically reflect upon how different research approaches can be utilized to examine the research topic.'

Important information concerning PhD courses: We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 5,000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately three months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
