Newsletter 9: From Hora Est to Hora Finita
January 2021
Radboud University aims at high quality supervision and close monitoring of progress of PhD candidates. A PhD system that supports our needs in this aim is crucial. It has been decided to start using a new PhD system: Hora Finita. In this newsletter we will inform you about this new system and give you an update about the process of the implementation of Hora Finita.
This newsletter will be sent to you monthly until Hora Finita has gone live. If you do not wish to receive an update in the future, please send an email to b.edlinger@soo.ru.nl . Suggestions for people to add to the list of recipients are welcome too!
Hora Finita, our new PhD project monitoring system, will go live in April. So there’ s lots of work to do to get everything ready in time. Unfortunately Covid is not helpful getting this done. But of course we all experience such setbacks!

Testing the set up and the manuals
In January and February we have weekly meetings to test Hora Finita with representatives of our future users. And soon we are also going to test our manuals (=short instructions about how to use Hora Finita). You are welcome to participate, so please contact us if you are interested. It is also an opportunity to get a preview of the system!
