Training offer

You can browse the majority of our VUB LRN catalogue without a TEO account. Registering for sessions require a guest account.

NO ACCESS (YET) TO TEO?

Some colleagues who are not officially employed at VUB or UZB (like researchers employed by some funding institutions) have no access to TEO Learning via the above link. However, all colleagues are very welcome to participate in the training offer after obtaining a guest account.

Crazy about our offer? To be able to register for sessions, you first have to complete a one-time procedure of requesting a guest account.

PhD workshops, seminars and training sessions

The Doctoral Schools and the Researcher Training & Development Office sponsor a variety of events. From this academic year on, you can browse and register for them in the VUB LRN catalogue for 2019-2020 with more ease via TEO Learning. That means you'll see the total VUB offer for all staff in one go, but can still do a filtered search for courses in a specific category!

To help guide PhD candidates along the course of their research, the Researcher Training & Development Office organises the Doctoral education tracks. Should you ever feel stuck, either at the start of your research or in later stages, you are always welcome to join these tracks!

If you have any suggestions for new workshops or seminars, use this online form or send an e-mail at doctoral.schools@vub.be.

Introduction days for new PhD candidates

As of academic year 2017-2018, the first day of the introduction days for new PhD candidates is compulsory. It includes necessary information about which services to contact, how the doctoral schools operate, what is good scientific conduct and what not, etc. Candidates have to present proof of attendance in their annual progress reports.

Individual faculties may decide to make the doctoral training programme or parts of it compulsory, based on what they consider to be an important factor in the prospective PhD candidate’s personal file.

We organise the introduction day twice each new academic year. The first one will be organised in September during the Lecture-free week/Welcome week for newstudents and the second one in February during the Lecture-free week. (exact dates will be communicated later)
