Ensuring the well-being of PhD students, both academically and socially, is a paramount priority for Graduate School of Technical Sciences (GSTS). To foster social connections and nurture the sense of community among PhD students, financial support is available for organising tailored social activities for GSTS PhD students in 2025.
These social initiatives could be directed towards either PhD students at a specific PhD programme or encompass participants from various PhD programmes within GSTS. Please note that the social initiative must be open to all PhD students on the PhD programme(s).
When contacting GSTS, you will receive a template for both the event description and the budget. The submitted budget is expected to be accurate – if the actual cost of the event changes by more than 10%, GSTS must be consulted.
Examples of previously supported social activities include:
