Transform4Europe PhD Tracks
Doctoral students participating in a PhD Track pursue their doctoral project at their home university, under the supervision of a PhD supervisor. Part of their doctoral training is completed at one of the T4EU universities, where they collaborate with an advisor.
The goal of the PhD Tracks program is to minimize the administrative complications typically associated with joint and double doctorates (co-tutelle), while still leveraging the full benefits of an international project.
