TNS-DP research plan seminars
Research plan seminars arranged by TNS-DP provide tools for active participation in scientific conferences, introduce a multidisciplinary approach and research topics, and offer opportunities for networking.
TNS-DP offers a research plan seminar opportunity twice a year in connection with relevant multidisciplinary seminars when possible:
- Spring term: one to two days; when possible in connection with a related seminar
- Autumn term: in connection with a Kvantum seminar with a varying theme
Both seminars are open to all researcher presentations in all fields, in addition to research plan presentations by doctoral researchers. The programme also includes keynote lectures and a workshop.
Call for abstracts, registrations and programme details are available on each course webpage (links from the TNS-DP calendar of events).
The course aims to provide tools for active participation in scientific conferences, to introduce a multidisciplinary approach and research topics, and to offer opportunities for networking. It is usually organised in connection with a scientific seminar with a varying theme.

In the seminar, the doctoral researchers should introduce their research plan or research and expose it to comments, as well as comment on the presentations of other participants. The seminar may also include scientific workshops. The goals are to provide tools for active participation in scientific conferences, to introduce multidisciplinary approach and research topics, and to offer opportunities for networking.
Successful completion of the course includes preparation and submission of an abstract, public presentation of the research in the form of an oral or poster presentation, and acting as an opponent in the seminar. The number of granted credits depends on the level of participation and additional work.
The abstract and the related oral or poster presentation should introduce the planned doctoral research or a part of it. Abstracts are confidential and will be shared only with course participants.
Abstract submission deadlines are announced separately for each seminar. The abstracts (from one to four pages) about your research or research plan should be prepared using the given template (includes instructions). The template is structured according to the UniOGS instructions for a research plan.
Please submit your abstract (indicating preference for oral or poster presentation) as a word or PDF file, including any figures and tables, by e-mail to jouko.inkeroinen (at) oulu.fi.
The deadline for abstract submission and the date of notification of acceptance is announced in each course webpage.
The presentation can be either oral or poster. Oral presentations require a PowerPoint presentation; poster presentations require a digital or printed poster (size A0).
Each oral presentation is usually allocated 20 minutes, and each poster presentation 10 to 15 minutes. Please be prepared to respond to comments and questions.
