PROFRES Doctoral Research School Autumn PhD Symposium Bodø 21th – 24th October 2024
Recognizing diversity and promoting different forms of inclusion is crucial to ensure a sustainable future in the welfare state. In this workshop, we aim to achieve broader understandings of diversity and inclusion through knowledge exchange between different theoretical perspectives, expertise in different practice fields/professional contexts, and focuses on global vs. local processes. We invite the PROFRES-candidates to participate in this knowledge exchange in forms of groupwork, presentation in parallel sessions and plenum discussions.

About PROFRES 2.0
PROFRES 2.0 is a doctoral research school profoundly preoccupied with conditions in working life, as evident in our remit for practice-near research problems in the fields of health, welfare and education. Through nine partnering institutions we recruit up to 60 candidates from nearly 20 PhD-programmes in Norway, which altogether enroll around 800-900 PhD candidates. Our overarching aim in PROFRES is twofold and complementary: 1) to cultivate excellence in a high-quality interdisciplinary and interprofessional learning environment for practice-near doctoral researchers, with focus on three major labour sectors in the welfare state; 2) to vouchsafe relevance by facilitating new co-creation spaces between academic and practice fields – mutually cultivating innovative knowledge-based professional practice and practice-near research with a view towards shaping future welfare.
