Call for proposals for the 2021 round of the Wageningen Graduate Schools Sandwich PhD programme

The aim of the Wageningen Graduate Schools (WGS) Sandwich PhD Programme is capacity building: a way for the university to reach out to like-minded scientific institutes to build international scientific networks, to facilitate exchange and to reinforce the knowledge basis of these institutes. The programme supports brain-gain for the home institute of the Sandwich PhD candidate, in partnership with Wageningen University via the PhD candidate’s training. Sandwich PhD candidates therefore conduct most of their research at the institutes in their home countries.
