National research schools may provide PhD candidates with a platform to discuss their research and its progress, learn about other doctoral research projects, and network via courses, workshops, or other activities

Participation in courses or conferences organised by the national research schools counts as part of the compulsory coursework and can be recorded in LUCRIS GSM. 1 ECTS credit corresponds with 28 training hours.
