It is not too late to sign up for an Intensive Graduate Activity at VIU this summer!
We have rolling admissions for the last places in several of our Summer Schools, and calls for applications are still open for some of our Graduate Seminars and PhD Academy.
The Intensive Graduate Activities encourage participants to experiment with interdisciplinary approaches, tackling complex and transversal topics that cannot be resolved from a single disciplinary perspective.
By bringing together doctoral students and young researchers from across the world, the programs foster vibrant collaboration and the exchange of ideas, while encouraging young scholars to engage with scientific challenges in creative and innovative ways. Equally important, they serve to build and strengthen scholarly networks within the consortium, creating lasting partnerships in areas of shared interest.
In this way, the Intensive Graduate Activities equip emerging researchers not only with skills for successful careers in academia and beyond, but also with the intellectual agility and collaborative mindset required to contribute meaningfully to global academic and societal debates.
Info Session on April 23. Sign up Now
In the PhD Academies and Graduate Seminars, students and researchers receive fee-waiver scholarships and travel grants to support their participation.
In the Summer Schools, students and researchers from VIU member institutions receive a partial fee waiver.
