Through the Junior Labs initiative, T4EU PhD students have the unique opportunity to establish their own academic groups, or to join an existing one.
What are T4EU Junior Labs?
T4EU Junior Labs are short-term, student-driven academic networks established by PhD candidates currently enrolled at T4EU partner universities.
Their purpose is to:
- Encourage interdisciplinary academic work
- Facilitate networking among PhDs
- Promote international engagement and provide critical experience to enhance future career prospects
- Support international mobility in Europe
Each Junior Lab runs for up to two years and is coordinated by a project leader, who must remain registered as a PhD student at a T4EU university for the entire duration of the project. All participating students are likewise required to be enrolled at a T4EU partner university.
Applications for Junior Labs are reviewed by the Joint PhD Office to ensure alignment with the T4EU pillars.
The submission deadline for the first call is September 30th 2025
Fill in the form if you would like to be contacted by T4EU to know more about the different possibilities.
