PhD training program

The goal of the program is the education of highly qualified, autonomous and critical scientific researchers in the area of psychopathology and mental health care. The training program consists of:

  • Conducting research, under supervision of one or more senior scientists in the EPP domain of research. The research is reported in a PhD dissertation and in scientific articles.
  • Training in general research skills and domain specific education in experimental psychopathology, as offered by EPP and outside this research school.
  • Attendance of colloquia and conferences
  • Presenting work at colloquia and conferences

Events

For who?

The EPP symposia are primarily organised for the EPP PhD students. Senior and candidate EPP members are also welcome if space allows. External PhD students are also welcome, space permitting, but they need to pay a fee. The EPP board urges EPP PhD students to participate in as many symposia as possible to gain knowledge in the broad domain of EPP research.
