Benefits and issues for PhD students

To enhance the young researchers training Need for different kind of research training:

generic, advanced and specialized elearning related

Short courses (on demand), support to paper writing

Easy access to resources, academic papers To develop a shared understanding

Desire to contact other PhD students in similar areas

Access to academics and projects from other countries

To handle the diversity Different views of what is research in the field Heavy language barriers to internationalization
