Our intention is that the financial resources that will be made available through these PhD scholarships will optimally benefit researchers and institutions on the SSS ABC islands. That is why during the development and execution of this call for proposals, we seek to support and encourage ownership to stimulate opportunities for researchers and organisations on all six islands in the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
During this session, we will shortly present our initial ideas for this Call for proposals based on a standard NWO call format. Information that you can expect to hear about are questions like: Who can submit? At which university can you conduct your research? What supervisors do you need? What is the timeline? We would like to invite you to reflect with on this information with us. Do you see any practical obstacles for submitting that we have not yet taken into account? Does this set up provide you with a fitting opportunity to develop yourself as ‘Caribbean researcher’? How would an ideal PhD trajectory look like for you (e.g. in terms of supervision, division of time in Caribbean vs in Netherlands, joint degree)? It is important to note that there are certain NWO rules and regulations that we have to adhere to which we will explain during the session or in response to your feedback.
We hope to see you there!
