The experience of RSUʼs scientists, world-class research institutions, experimental laboratories, and the synergy with other study programmes will support you on this journey. Like all great goals, acquiring a doctoral degree will require discipline because there will be things that work out and things that don't, but you must be able to keep going after a fall. This is where both your supervisor and the close-knit team at the Department of Doctoral Studies will help. When you do important things, the results are never immediate, so patience, skilful navigation, and guidance in the form of poster presentations and discussions help you get to that first scientific paper.
