    RDM Bingo!

    How much do you know about research data management? 

    Join our session to get to know your data steward and learn more about how to manage your data and code by playing a game of research data management bingo!

    Workshop agenda: 

    • Meet the University of Twente data stewards (15 mins) 
    • RDM bingo for a prize (20 mins)
    • Survey for a prize (10 mins)
  • Going to industry after your PhD

    Discover more about the next steps in your career outside academia. Former PhD students will share their experiences about making the transition from academia to industry. 

  • The Social Sorting Experiment (Smartphone Orchestra)

    Canceled

    Did you know that 70 likes are enough to know more about how you behave than your friends do? That 70 likes are enough to know your sexual orientation and 300 likes to know you better than your own partner does?!

    With every action you do on social media, you leave a digital data trail behind. When this is combined with psychological insights, a very accurate digital caricature is created. Recent events show this is not only used to make your online experience more personalised, but also used against your own interest. Cambridge Analytica, for example, was able to manipulate political opinions with highly targeted precision.

    So should you quit all your online activity? A bit drastic maybe.. Why not try to get to know yourself so well, that you can no longer be manipulated!

    The latter, friend and follower, is the service that The Social Sorting Experiment provides. You will be measured and judged and then experience how this data is really used through an absurdist interactive group performance where you - armed with your smartphone- become the main star of the show. Together we will unravel the mysterious algorithmic rituals under the hood of social media and make a couple of good old analogue friends at the same time!

Organizers

P-NUT passes the borders of faculties, departments and even universities by bringing doctoral candidates with different backgrounds together to share their experiences and help each other to grow and become more efficient in their work. Our main objectives are to bring people who share similar interests together in both a professional and informal way, to inform them on the important aspects that might affect or benefit their careers as scientists and share and defend the rights of the PhDs at the UT. These objectives define the three main goals of P-NUT: connect, inform and represent the doctoral candidates of the University of Twente. 

The organizing chairs consist of F. Koefer (P-NUT Secretary 2021-2022) and R.H. Bemthuis (P-NUT Treasurer and Vice-president 2021-2022).
