Networking is an important part of doctoral studies, and it can help young researchers establish a base for their future endeavours. This page provides information about various doctoral networks that the University of Tartu is a part of, as well as their scholarship opportunities and other activities.
The network’s main emphasis is on facilitating student exchanges at doctoral level. In 2018, it launched the Europaeum Scholars Programme, a two-year policy and leadership course for the most talented, energetic and committed doctoral candidates from within the Europaeum network. A new call is announced every year.
