Activity and funding
Twice a year, all doctoral students' study activity and funding must be reported in Ladok. The information is used partly by Statistics Sweden (SCB) and by the University for follow-up purposes.
Activity
Activity in Ladok is calculated as a percentage of full-time. If you devote all your working time to doctoral education during a semester, 100% activity must be reported for that semester. If you have 20% departmental duties during a semester you report 80% activity. Ladok has a calculation aid so you only need to know the date and % and Ladok will calculate the degree of activity for you. Short periods of absence are not taken into account. The total activity during four years of education is 800%, that is, eight semesters of 100%.
Funding
For each semester, the type of funding you have as a doctoral student is also reported. Examples of funding can be if you have been employed at the University as a doctoral student, other employment at the University, employed at another university, employed in the healthcare sector or employed by a company. This information is also reported in per cent.
