For Ph.D. supervisors, on Wednesday, 13th December 15:30 – 17:30, the session ‘Doctoral research opportunities for PhD supervisors – Matchmaking Event’ will allow the PhD supervisors working in the EU-CONEXUS partner universities to meet and discuss their topics of interest with their peers working on the same topics, given possible future cooperation in terms of doctoral research. The event will comprise a general presentation of joint research opportunities in EU-CONEXUS in a plenary session (co-tutelle, grants for Ph.D. students in co-tutelles, research mobilities for Ph.D. supervisors, Research and Innovation Informatic System). Several breakout rooms will be set up on different topics, based on the interest of the PhD supervisors registered for the event. PhD supervisors will be able to present their profiles, interests, topics, equipment, previous results, etc. The Ph.D. supervisors who identified a special interest in the same topic will be able to join a separate breakout room to discuss specifically their topic of interest.

You can register by the 1st of December 2023 here. Based on your scientific disciplines and fields of research, we will configure the breakout rooms. Meeting links for this session will be sent separately to all the interested persons who register for this session.
