Here you can locate any relevant information about getting approval for courses, conferences and research stays held outside DSSG.

Note: when you send an e-mail seeking any kind of approval please title it DSSG - approval for [what you are seeking approval for] - [your full name] 

1) Courses:
Non-RUC courses are supported only with the approval of the PhD supervisor. You need to participate in the course for ECTS. ECTS are awarded on the basis of certificate or submission of course details to PhD Coordinator Cecilie Thorsted Flo at thorsted(at)ruc.dk.

You are required to take 15 of the total 30 ECTS at ISG/Roskilde Doctoral Schools (RDS).

You cannot normally expect that expenses will be paid by DSSG for courses elsewhere, if these are substantially similar to courses offered at ISG/RDS.

2) Conferences:
In order to participate in a conference, it is a precondition that you present a paper.

You must send an email to thorsted(at)ruc.dk with:

1. a conference description
2. a budget
3. and approval from your supervisor

Note: If you are travelling you also need to fill out the standard application form for travels and include this in the email.

3) Research stays abroad:
Research stays abroad should always be within the project design of your PhD plan. You need to seek approval from both your supervisor and the DSSG steering committee.

You need to send an e-mail to thorsted(at)ruc.dk explaining:

1. The necessity of the research stay
2. A detailed plan of the research stay
3. And a detailed budget of expected expenses.

To help you get started with your planning the Danish Agency for Universities and Internationalisation have created a website that gives you helpful tips and advice for various stays abroad – the websites is called gribverden.dk and their PhD section can be accessed here.

If you have any questions you can write to Cecilie Thorsted Flo at thorsted(at)ruc.dk or phone 4674 3307.
