UniGo! (International University Governance) is an offer from University of Copenhagen to those PhD students interested in modern management of universities in its broadest perspective. The course is offered to PhD students from all faculties together with foreign PhD students from UC's IARU partners in Australia, USA, China, and Singapore. PhD students from University of Copenhagen will as part of the course receive travel grants to visit the IARU partners.

 

Understanding university governance

The purpose of UniGo! is to give PhD students a research-based understanding of university governance and the best tools for navigating through the complex landscape of the universities - nationwide as well as in an international context.

 

A truly international course - travel grants offered to PhD students

The course takes place at Skovskolen in Nødebo (Forest & Landscape) North of Copenhagen, 19-23 April 2010. This intensive week is followed by a research seminar 29 April 2010 and a oral examination 24 June 2010 (both activities in Copenhagen). All participants will be lodged at Skovskolen during the intensive week (full accommodation). The internship is free and all participants enrolled at University of Copenhagen will in addition receive a travel grant of DKK 6.000 for a short visit to one of the other IARU universities. The visit is expected to take place 24 April - 23 June 2010. Three PhD students will in stead of the DKK 6.000 grant be offered a grant of DKK 25.000 for a 1-month secondment at Australian National University (15 November - 10 December 2010).
