It offers a chance for the PhD students to discuss their project with other PhD students and supervisors. Furthermore, the graduate students will obtain transferable skills relevant to the stage of progress of their PhD study and project. Learning objectives The Cardiovascular Winter School 2023 is organized in collaboration with Danish Cardiovascular Academy (DCAcademy). A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to: 1. 1st year PhD students: 1) Apply correct scientific writing to their research papers and thesis 2) Critically review abstracts and poster presentations 3) Reflect on oral presentations 2. 2nd year PhD students: 1) Apply poster presentation skills to their poster presentations 2) Present and discuss a scientific poster 3) Reflect on oral presentations 3. 3rd year PhD studnets: 1) Apply communication and presentation skills to oral presentations 2) Present and discuss their research project Content Day 1 consists of workshops of different skills relevant to the different stages of the PhD studies. 1st year PhD students will attend the workshop on 'Writing skills in academia' Writing is an integral part of academia and includes specific genres such as the abstract, manuscript or the thesis.
