Connect. Reflect. Get It Done.

A community to support your PhD goals — meeting monthly.

The group meets on the first Monday of each month from 11.00-12.00, starting March 2nd and continuing until December, for a total of 10 sessions. Doctoral researchers from all fields are welcome to attend the meetings.

PhD life can be isolating and intense. It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day grind of research, writing, and deadlines, often losing sight of the broader academic and personal goals. Given today’s academic environment, supervisors often don’t have the time or capacity to provide the regular, focused support that PhD researchers need. A regular, supportive, and guided space is often what’s needed—one where PhD researchers can receive guidance, find accountability partners, and re-energize their efforts.

The Monthly Reflection Group bridges this gap by offering a reliable, supportive, and continuous program for PhD researchers to reflect on their progress and celebrate achievements, discuss challenges and share tips, and realign their focus and take the next steps in their academic journey. Additionally, it fosters a sense of community by connecting PhD researchers from different universities.

Participants may attend regularly or as needed. Meetings are in English.

Register HERE. The registration deadline is February 20, 2026.
