Why study this programme?
The Radboud Global PhD programme on Sustainability Challenges enables life-long learning by allowing mid- and end-career sustainability professionals to do research on a topic relevant for their work. The programme focuses on both environmental and social sustainability challenges. With supervisors from different disciplinary backgrounds supporting the programme, candidates are encouraged to conduct multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary research. The topic of research is inspired by the candidate’s professional context. During the programme, PhD candidates learn how to design and implement academic research and become part of a community of sustainability researchers and professionals who want to make a difference.
