Are you are interested in shaping the future of Europe? If so, and if you are a doctoral candidate in the Humanities or Social Sciences whose research relates to the study of Europe (broadly defined) then this could be the programme for you. This programme offers a unique opportunity to be part of a network of some of the brightest people of your generation. European Scholars are people who “think for themselves, but not just of themselves” with the capacity and the desire to create a better future for Europe. They combine academic excellence with a clear commitment to promoting the public good. Highly motivated, well organised and with a strong academic track record they have a strong interest in connecting the lessons that can be learned from academic research to the public arena. This policy-oriented professional development programme is multi-locational and multi- institutional. It draws on the resources of the Europaeum network of leading European universities. Talks and training are provided by Europaeum affiliated academics together with a wide range of external experts and leading thinkers. In seven modules over two years, Scholars engage with key challenges facing Europe today and hear from those affected by them. They design, develop and deliver their own policy-related project in small groups. By the end you will emerge with knowledge and a set of skills and contacts equal to any group anywhere.
