Are you a PhD student?
No? You can choose the alma mater university from T4U alliance Universities (see here, click), apply with the individual program and rules established at the university.
Yes? Take your time to recognize the formal frames and the PhD Track sheet.
PhD track = a doctoral project with an international aspect
T4EU PhD TRACKS is a unique opportunity to broaden scientific horizons and an advanced path for educating doctoral students as part of the Transform4Europe consortium of European universities.
The individual PhD track is a doctoral project conducted at the home university, where the student works with a supervisor. The student attends part of his/her doctoral education at one of the T4EU universities, where he/she collaborates with an advisor. Therefore, PhD students accepted for projects under T4EU PhD Tracks will carry out research with the support of the supervisor and advisor.
The PhD research theme should be related to prioritized T4EU focus topics:
- digital transformation and smart regions
- environmental transformation and sustainable development
- social transformation, community building and integration
MOBILITY WITHIN THE TRACKS
Increasing the international aspect of the project is irreversible connected with the mobility of PhD students. Collaboration with an advisor allows for increasing the PhD student’s ability to attend courses or lectures and participate in conferences. As a result, the mobility within the PhD tracks can be understood differently depending on the nature of the project and the interactions between the candidate, supervisor, and advisor.
ADVISORS AND THEIR INVOLVEMENT IN THE TRACK
Advisors are partners of a supervisor who take part in the education of a doctoral student. They are ancillaries of the supervisor, more akin to a tutor or mentor who supports the PhD candidate in scientific aspects of their research and development. The role of the advisor is to provide guidance and support in selected aspects of the candidate’s research.
