- Fun quizzes and mini games (PhD edition!)
- Space to connect informally with fellow doctoral researchers across the world
🎅 Why join?
Because even the most dedicated researchers deserve fun, laughter, and a moment to celebrate how far they've come this year. Whether you're in data collection mode, writing up, or waiting on Reviewer 2, this space is for you.
🗓️ Date & Time: 15 December 2025 17h CET
👕 Dress Code: Festive (optional-but encouraged!)
