During your PhD studies you are often encouraged to do a short research stay at another research university or in a professional setting.
For current PHDs we suggest to directly check the website Research Professionals,Study in Holland or contact our VU Amsterdam Grants Office.
You can also explore Erasmus + opportunities as a doctoral candidate, or search for traineeships. Our international office can provide more information on Erasmus + for doctoral candidates.
The Promovendi Netwerk Nederland offers a professional PhD program for training in non-academic setting (companies, NGOs, ministries) and during your PhD studies. There is a similar program offered by NWO (Dutch Scientific Foundation) Scientist on the Job which offers PhD candidates and postdocs an opportunity of working for a short time at a company or public institution.
For those PhDs that are at the end of their studies we also provide support for application for Dutch and European research grants.
