Efforts to increase students’ internationalization
 Funding to participate in international summer schools
– Only 1-4 students per year have taken advantage of this possibility
 Students give presentations about their research in
international conferences once a year (funded by research
groups)
 Researcher visits
– Supervisors’ contacts yield good possibilities in top universities abroad
– ½-1 year long visits – little interest
– 1-4 weeks short visits – some interest
– Important, but how to encourage?

Recruitment
 Most full-time students have already been working as research
assistants in some of the school’s research groups
– Supervisors have first hand knowledge about the candidates’ capabilities
 Promising master-level students are involved early in the
graduate school’s activities already before graduation
– Intensive courses
– Seminars
– Conferences
 Foreign students possible
15

Practises proven good
 Seminars with a specific topic
– Seminar on Scientific writing held in 2006 was found very useful by the students
– Require professors’ contribution in preparation
– Reproducible
 Intensive courses
– A glance at a more specific area of research in a short time
– Require only little contribution from the universities’ staff
– Networking possibilities for the students
 Conference presentation rehearsals
– Held for laboratory staff about 2-3 weeks before the conference
– Critical comments and discussion
