PhD efficiency week (REC): Hoe tem ik mijn PhD-template? Een ‘Wordje’ uitleg

This course is a part of the PhD efficiency week 2026 (23/03/26 - 27/03/24) organized by and for PhD students of the Faculty of Law. Courses included in this trajectory are:

• Mastering Zotero, mastering references
• FWO & me: Insights into funding for research stays, conferences and summer/winter schools
• How to manage my data plan in 10 ways
• Fintra and the finances of a PhD
• Hoe tem ik mijn PhD-template? Een ‘Wordje’ uitleg
• PhD pitch 'Law, responsibility and sustainability in an interdependent world'
• Methodology and my PhD

Hoe tem ik mijn PhD-template? Een ‘Wordje’ uitleg is een interactieve sessie van anderhalf uur, verzorgd door dr. Loth Vanderauwermeulen. Deelnemers krijgen praktische uitleg, tips en leren tricks om efficiënt te werken met het PhD-template in Word, volledig afgestemd op de facultaire richtlijnen. De sessie helpt doctoraatsbursalen om handiger en consistenter te werken met de tekstverwerker en vormt een ideale aanvulling op de sessie over referentiebeheer met Zotero (eveneens onderdeel van het PhD Efficiency Week-Programma).
