| The course consists of reading and 5 journal clubs. Each journal club has a subject and related literature which should be read before the journal club. It is essential that the PhD students participate actively and there will be a facilitated discussion. For each journal club there will be some initial questions which will be used to start a discussion. Each journal club is started by a short presentation by one of the participants. Each journal club is 4 X 45 min plus 15 min break. The participants write an essay containing their own reflection and the relevance to the PhD project. The participant can be experts as well, but they will only take part in the journal clubs of interest. | |||||||||||||
