Academic Writing for a PhD: it's a marathon, not a sprint!
A love of research, a passion for learning, a drive for self-development or career development – these are all common motivations for someone to embark on a PhD. However, you’ll rarely hear someone say they’re in it for the love of academic writing. Despite how integral it is to the PhD process, writing is something I think we all have complex feelings about – from exhaustion and frustration to satisfaction and enjoyment I’m currently finishing up writing a scoping review and

How to be a PhD Survivor
After two years doing the PhD, I can confirm and affirm that it is a very hard process of learning, knowledge, iteration, failures, sleepless nights, dream of research... many hours reading and writing and many others trying to obtain wellbeing and balance in my body and mind. #catchitn #EU #H2020 #MSCA #PhD #ESR #research #career #SDU

Three years in a life of an ESR
It's been almost 3 years, and you only realize everything we've experienced when you review the photos during this time.

Communicating academic research & opportunity generation
Even doing an industrial PhD, which involves spending time outside academia, a PhD is mainly a research-based educational program, and it is mandatory to earn credits from educational modules at your host university. In my case, I’m based outside academia, in a Private Oncology Clinic (Oncoavanze, Seville, Spain), as part of a European Industrial Doctorate and my secondment is in Academia, in my case, University College Dublin, UCD. Being involved in an educational program me

Adventures of a PhD researcher: attending a global physiotherapy conference! A photo-blog of WCPT 20
Attending and presenting at the World Confederation of Physical Therapists (WCPT) Congress 2019 has been a true highlight of my PhD studies so far. This biennial event brought 4,300 physiotherapists from all over the world together in Geneva for three days of presentations, seminars and CPD. As you can see, it was also a good chance for members of the Irish Society of Physiotherapists to meet each other and catch up! At the conference opening ceremony WCPT president Dr Emma S

The Twitter Conference – an emerging medium in modern knowledge exchange?
Sharing knowledge has long been a cornerstone to advancing scientific fields. Traditionally, knowledge exchange has been achieved through peer reviewed publications and academic conferences. However, conferences are fast becoming the new method for sharing valuable information.

Evaluate your projects for SME Instrument (Part II)
If your project is viable, you are at a good starting point, but this is not the target. As discussed in my previous blog, SME Instrument grants look for investable projects, and projects with traction of private investment. Some big projects are conceived for solving problems, give value and create work for lots of people but, if it does not have the capability of high growth, preferable in an international market and therefore able to pull private investment, then it is no

Impact, Implementation and Excellence in Innovation (Part I)
No matter how good an idea is, no matter how disruptive it is in the market, no matter the proven high interest of the market on your product or service - there will be always a barrier to overcome, and one predominant issue is to find resources and money. If we don’t have enough in-house resources, and we must look for public grants or private investors, there is always something we first have to build… credibility. Credibility is something you must work on and it makes the

In a PhD Slump? 5 Tips to Help You Stay Motivated and Get Your Mojo Back
Doing a PhD provides the opportunity to work at the frontiers of scientific innovation by contributing to ground breaking research. As such, the over-arching aim of a PhD is to lead (directly or indirectly) to impactful outcomes on human life and the world we live in.

Rome wasn’t built in a day – my road to becoming a CATCH ESR
I have been very fortunate to be funded throughout my studies by the European Commission. It all started during the 2nd year of my bachelors. A project specific to engineering, mathematics and the sciences was offering scholarships to students from all over the world to study at some of the best universities in Europe. I was accepted and 1 year after, I was determined to follow the same path for my masters as well. I started my masters almost 3 years ago, the program had a lo
