Webinar: Navigating the PhD Journey in Sweden Panel & Book Discussion

The journey to a PhD defense in Sweden is rarely the linear path described in handbooks. It is a period marked by setbacks, institutional challenges, and personal "ups and downs."

SULF invites you to a webinar featuring the editors and authors of the book "The PhD Wanderer: Essays on Doctoral Studies in Sweden." This panel brings together researchers who have successfully defended their theses despite the "drama" and hurdles of the Swedish academic system. This is a factual look at the lived experience of being a PhD student, designed to give current candidates perspective on their own progress.

When: 24.02.2026, 12.00-13.00

Where: Online

The Panel will address:

• Key Findings: A summary of the themes explored in PhD Wanderer.
• The Swedish Context: Specific challenges of defending within the Swedish system.
• Strategies for Resilience: How the authors managed major setbacks while staying on track for their defense.
