Dear doctoral students,
The end of the year and the beginning of the new one is always a great opportunity for all of us to make an inventory of what we did, what stayed as unfinished businesses and to make a list of what we plan to do in the coming year. Usually, the expectation list is long – no problem with that, but keep your doctoral study among priorities.
You are at the top in our list of expectations for 2025
- for the 11th cohort – to finish with the course obligations, and start the research phase,
- for other cohorts to intensify your research work and writing the thesis, and
- for those ‘sleeping sinkholes’ to come to the surface and catch-up.
You are in a unique period of your life, very demanding in balancing your private life with your professional life and your doctoral study. But, at the same time it is an unforgettable period of working together – we are here to support you, talking, looking for solutions, always.
Check sometimes the PhD Illusion and Reality Facebook page on https://www.facebook.com/jimmyiitm – you always can find some serious or funny pieces of thoughts:
For those who are starting to research and write the thesis:

for those who are at the final phase of writing (don’t take it seriously!)

Have a relaxed ending of 2024 and energized entry in 2025,
Slavica and Suncica
(on behalf of the whole ICES team)
