We recommend that doctoral researchers who participate actively in a FAST meeting are granted 1 ECTS towards their doctoral degree.
The contents of the FAST meetings varies from event to event, but they usually include research, education and interactive tasks such as preparing presentations or reports about own research before the meeting (research poster, research plan, registered report, etc..), reviewing reports from other participants, attending keynotes and lectures on research projects and research methods, and presenting own research plans and results. We strive that the effort required for one FAST meeting amounts to 27 working hours.
How to register your study credits
The process to register your study credits varies from university to university, please contact your supervisor for this. You may need to provide evidence of your active participation, for example by including the meeting program and your reports or presentations in your request. Also, it may be simpler to register the attendance to several meetings at once, for example by registering the study credits for 4 meetings at the end of the year or all the meetings towards the end of your research studies.
