Doctoral studies in Sweden: a trade union perspective
Are you a doctoral student? As a doctoral student, you stand at the forefront of academic exploration and innovation. Yet, this path often comes with unique challenges – financial uncertainties, complex employment conditions, and the need for a strong voice in shaping policies that affect your career. This is where the trade Swedish Association of University Teachers and Researchers (SULF) becomes an invaluable ally.
The seminar is given in English and is part of a seminar series for doctoral students.
In this seminar you will learn about the “Swedish labor system”, the importance of collective agreements, and the unique position of trade unions in Sweden. Meet local representatives from the SULF trade union (including doctoral students), and our ombudsman Michael Svedemar who can answer all your questions.
