The prime aim of the Programme is to engage academic thinking with policy making and to produce a new generation of leaders, thinkers, and researchers with the capacity to meet the cultural, political and societal challenges facing Europe today. Scholars attend six modules and a conference over two years while studying for their existing doctoral degrees
Applicants must be enrolled on a doctoral programme at one of the participating Europaeum universities AND be pursuing research related to Europe (broadly defined) in the Humanities or Social Sciences OR have very strong extra-curricular interests in European affairs. Each scholar is fully funded by a scholarship worth €12,500 per annum for two years. This covers full accommodation, food, and tuition, but does not provide a stipend. A maximum of 30 places are available.
