  1. The Study PlanScientific content, Collaboration with supervisor, Courses, Dissemination, Immaterial rights, External collaboration, Financing budget, References ….. Jes Vollertsen Torben Larsen Jesper de Claville Christiansen

  2. The time-line • 2-months study plan • Required according to Ministerial Order • 11-months study plan • Required by the Doctoral School • 6-months declarations • According to Ministerial Order we shall assess whether the You are following the PhD plan and, if necessary, adjust the plan • After 36 months of work you hand in a thesis • Shortly here after the defense is held

  3. The 2-months study plan • After 2 months you have most likely no clear overview of your PhD study • Therefore your supervisor is supposed to help you defining the content of the plan • How to write the study plan is described at our homepage: http://www.phd.teknat.aau.dk/intranet/

  4. Structure of the plan • Keep it short and precise – max 5000 words • Project summary/abstract • The scientific content of the PhD project • Collaboration agreements • Plan for PhD courses • Plan for fulfillment of knowledge dissemination • Agreements on immaterial rights to patents • External collaboration • Financing budget • List of references • Keep the structure and numbering listed above and in the guidelines http://www.phd.teknat.aau.dk/intranet/templates

  5. 1. Project summary/abstract • A short (max 400 words) summary in layman’s terms. It shall describe • Key motivation • Significance • Methodology • Expected outcome of the PhD study • Layman’s terms mean that a reader of the local newspaper should be able to understand the summary !!!

  6. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • This section falls into 7 sub-sections • The background for the project problem • How does the your project fit into a broader contextual frame? • Max 300 words

  7. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • An introduction stating the state-of-the-art for the PhD project (WHAT is known…) • What is the global state of knowledge on your PhD topic? NOT your knowledge – but the worlds knowledge • Seen in the light of the state-of-art: How does your PhD project contribute to increasing the global state of knowledge? • Include key references listed under section 9

  8. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • The project objectives (WHAT will I solve …) • Short and concise state what is the scientific objective (goal) of your work • This could be formulated as a hypothesis: • For example: It is the working hypothesis of this project that hydrogen sulfide oxidation on corroding concrete is mainly a biological process • It could also be formulated as a problem to solve • For example: Investigate to what degree hydrogen sulfide oxidation on corroding concrete is a biological process or a chemical process

  9. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • Key methods (HOW do I do it …) • Methodological needs • Identification of means of meeting these needs • Methodological design • The coverage should include techniques for evaluating or assessing the outcomes of the project (e.g., empirical studies, theoretical studies)

  10. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • Potential significance and application(s) of the project’s expected outcome, possibly including methodological contributions (WHAT comes out of it …) • What are the expected results of my study?

  11. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • Time schedule (HOW do I organize …) • At this stage, the time schedule must be with a resolution of 6 months or finer • Include milestones of your projects. For example: • +6 months: Survey conducted • +9 months: Analytical method xyz run in • +12 months: Data for journal publication abc collected • +15 months: Publication abc submitted for review

  12. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • Outline of the content of the thesis • Include an indication on whether the thesis is expected to take the form of a collection of papers or a monograph • The Doctoral School is in favor of a collection of papers in peer-reviewed journals or conference proceedings with peer-reviewed contributions. Such collection shall contain an extended abstract integrating main aspects of the work • In research areas where there is no or little tradition for journal or conference publications, the Doctoral School accepts monographs

  13. 2. The scientific content of the PhD project • If considered possible, tentative titles on papers, including preliminary author lists • Where the thesis is planned submitted as a collection of papers, you shall indicate: • Tentative titles of the papers – or topics • Tentative author list (with an indication of who has the primary responsibility for the publication) • Tentative peer-reviewed outlets (journals, conferences, …) • Who are co-authors? Supervisors….. Order of authors????? Differences in environments. Include in agreement
