DANDRITE's Ph.D. and Postdoc Association

Who are YoDA?

The PhD & Postdoc Association at DANDRITE, called “Young DANDRITE”, or just "YoDA", works to facilitate interaction and unity among the PhD students and postdocs affiliated DANDRITE.

YoDA meets several times a year for planning meetings and activities of both social and career development character. Activities can be suggested by everyone in the DANDRITE community to the coordinators. 

Monthly YoDA meetings

The YoDA organizing team meets on the first Thursday of every month, at 12:00-13:00 to discuss upcoming events and initiatives. Every DANDRITE PhD or Postdoc is welcome to join. Please contact the administrative representative Astrid (asmu@dandrite.au.dk) if you are interested in joining or have ideas for events.
