The EUTOPIA Alliance is pleased to announce the launch of the EUTOPIA Doctoral Mobility Programme.

The EUTOPIA Alliance is a network of six universities:

The EUTOPIA Doctoral Mobility Programme supports PhD students enrolled in a doctoral programme of one of the EUTOPIA universities and wishing to conduct a research visit at another EUTOPIA university. The aim of the programme is to foster collaboration and integration, to promote the sharing of expertise and research infrastructures and to develop joint research activities (e.g. common publication, co-supervision, etc). The Programme will allow PhD students to develop new research skills, explore new research and innovation areas, widen international research integration and engage in project-led collaborations.

Criteria

• The Programme is open to all academic disciplines and topics.
• The projects shall be carried out at the host institution during the visit in collaboration with a host researcher within this institution.
