Huge congratulations to our very own Mihai Croicu, who nailed his dissertation to the kitchen wall at the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, yesterday!

Mihai has been an integral part of VIEWS since its very inception in 2017, and can in less than 2 months’ time prefix his name with the prestigious “Dr.”.

Mihai’s thesis summary (kappa) is available in DiVA.

He will defend his thesis on 21 March. Read more.

💡 Fun fact: In Sweden, there is a required step a few weeks before your doctoral thesis defence called nailing (spikning). You submit your thesis summary (kappa) and the place and time when you will defend your thesis. These are then made public. Many also honour the ancient (and fun) tradition of nailing a physical copy to the wall.
