What if the PhD journey didn’t have to feel so lonely?

This is where IN-ROOTS began: from the need to create more inclusive, supportive and connected doctoral communities.

For three days, PhD researchers came together to share experiences, reflect on intersectionality, explore doctoral life through PhD memes and collective storytelling, and co-design ideas for future communities.

We talked about isolation, belonging, well-being, barriers, care and connection.

And we started growing something together.
