Professional skills training programme over two years for PhD students, starting April 2020 - Deadline 1 December
The Europaeum Scholars Programme engages academic thinking with policy making and aims to produce a new generation of leaders, thinkers and researchers with the capacity to meet the cultural, political and societal challenges facing Europe today. Scholars attend eight modules, taken over two years, alongside their existing doctoral degrees. The multi-locational and multi-institutional nature of the programme draws upon the resources of all the Europaeum university members and includes visits to key European and international institutions. Scholars work intensively in small groups on a policy project that they identify, design and develop under the guidance of a mentor. Each team’s policy recommendations are judged by a panel of external experts, and there is the potential for publication of the best.The Europaeum Scholars Programme offers a unique opportunity to be part of a network of some of the brightest people of your generation. Scholars will be able to connect your doctoral research with the world of policy making, to draw on the combined resources of seventeen of Europe’s leading universities, to learn how to work as a team (and what leading a team involves), and to understand the complexity of policy making.
Each student is fully funded by a scholarship for two years, covering full accommodation, travel, food and all tuition. A maximum of 36 places is available.
