HI, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
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.
ABOUT T4EU PhD TRACKS
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
Digital transformation and smart regions revolve around leveraging digital technologies to improve infrastructure, sustainability, and quality of life. A key aspect is the integration of advanced technologies with urban and regional development.
Environmental transformation and sustainable development focus on the efficient use of resources and reducing environmental impacts through technology, innovation and ecological awareness. They concentrate on combating climate change, protecting biodiversity, and promoting a circular economy for a greener future.
Social transformation, community building and integration focus on creating inclusive, equitable, and resilient communities through policy, technology, and cultural shifts. It aims to enhance social cohesion, accessibility, and opportunities for all individuals, regardless of background.
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
An advisor is an academic teacher of one of T4EU universities, a PhD holder at least. The advisor may represent the same or another academic discipline as the PhD candidate.
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.
