2. RU & Radboudumc news
“Employees Square” of the Radboudumc
Starting from September 1, the new “Employees Square” (route 528) will provide information
regarding the Radboudumc badge, medical insurance, ICT, HR and many other practical issues
for all the new and current Dutch and international staff.
3. PNN News
Professional PhD Program: 2 vacancies for PhD candidates in Law and Economics at
the NWO
Currently the PhD track fully focuses on an academic career, while around 80% of PhDs will
continue their career outside the academia. Therefore, PNN’s offers PhD candidates an
internship outside the academia, i.e. at a company or a public organization within the
Professionals PhD Program (PPP). A PhD candidate accepted to the PPP works on an
intellectually challenging case brought forward by the organization, while the companies and
public organizations experience the added value of a PhD candidate. Moreover, the PPP
contributes to the collaboration between universities and non-academic organizations. PNN
facilitates the contacts, conducts acquisition for vacancies, and provides a general detachment
contract, but is no party in the formal detachment contract. PhD candidates can apply for this
program on this website: www.hetpnn.nl/ppp
It can differ per vacancy whether speaking Dutch is a prerequisite. For these particular vacancies
Dutch is a prerequisite. For more information, see the link below:

4. PV News
Meditatie cursus
De personeelsvereniging (PV) Radboud organiseert meditatie cursus voor de medewerkers van
de RU en het Radboudumc.
Je kunt zo veel meer uit je leven en werk halen met behulp van meditatie. Door meditatie
vergroot je de stille ruimte in jezelf en kom je tot rust door de ontspanning van geest en lichaam.
Je ervaart minder stress en vermoeidheid waardoor je meer gefocust in de dag staat. De ervaring
leert dat meditatie je draagt door de dag heen en je inspiratie, concentratie en creativiteit op een
nieuw niveau brengt.

their PhD to the next dimension!
