THE EUROPEAN PH.D. NETWORK IN EPISTEMOLOGY, LANGUAGE, AND MIND (External organisation)

Description

PhD-Net

The European Ph.D. -Network in Philosophy is a joint scholarly program aimed at promoting the scientific quality and the internationalization of doctoral education, as well as providing doctoral students enhanced career possibilities. The participants of this network are the University of Bucharest, the University of Helsinki, the University of Bologna, Paris 1, and Uppsala University. Helsinki is the coordinating institution. For the participating universities, the European Ph.D. Net in Philosophy offers a distinctly international curriculum as well as the organizational network for obtaining either a binational doctoral degree under a Cotutelle agreement or a doctoral degree under an Agreement on Educational Cooperation. Hence the doctoral students selected to the program pursue their doctoral studies both at their home university and in one of the partner universities.

As president of the Net I coordinate its activities, and participate in the meetings of the net, twice a year. The main activity is to participate to the working seminars of the Net, which take place twice a year, each time in one of the departments which belongs to the Net. In these seminars we comment extensively phD students' work with the purpose of helping them to finish their theses in the required amount of time. The first meeting will take place in Helsinki, 20th of November. The Net plans its activities in 3 year cycles.
