Amsterdam-Brussels-Paris Doctoral School |
||
The aim of the Amsterdam-Brussels-Paris Doctoral School on “Quantum Field Theory, Strings and Gravity” is to provide first-year PhD students with advanced courses that help bridge the gap between Master-level courses and the most recent advances in the field. Responsible for the organization as well as for teaching the courses are ULB, VUB, the University of Amsterdam and various institutions in Paris led by Ecole Normale Supérieure. The program typically starts in mid-September and consists of three weeks of lectures in Paris, three weeks in Brussels and three weeks in Amsterdam (in an order that may vary), with a one-week break between the segments. This way, the students are exposed to several institutes, each with their own research and teaching culture, and to professors from the various institutes. Last but not least, they get to meet fellow students from neighboring institutes and countries, who will be their peers and colleagues throughout (and possibly beyond) their PhD studies. Participating institutions: Students from institutions other than the participating ones are also encouraged to apply, but the number of available places is rather limited Previous Doctoral Schools: 22 September - 5 December 2008 |
