CBU PhD seminar

Hello everyone,
I wish happy and successful year to all of you! In the mid of December last year CBU Doctoral students have had a seminar in Joensuu premises. Finally we had students from 3 different universities: University of Eastern Finland, University of Tampere and St.-Petersburg State Forest Technical University. We were 7 students from forestry, medicine, IT and social sciences. Each of participants prepared a presentation about 15 minutes on study progress and 10 minutes were given for questions and general discussion. It is already second meeting of CBU PhD students and most of us have made a headway and increased the expertise in the areas of study issues. General discussion at the end of the meeting was very fruitful and useful. The general concerns of the students regarding fundraising, guidance and support from CBU side were discussed. Personally, I think such kind of meetings offer to the students discuss the most relevant issues of study process, share the experience and knowledge.
Meanwhile during the autumn University of Forest Finland, School of Forest Sciences announced a call for 3-years PhD scholarship. At the end of the seminar GSForest coordinator announced the result of selection process. The 3-year PhD scholarship was granted to Anton Kuzmin who is writing his doctoral dissertation in the field of forest inventory. Congratulations!!!
