Each project’s interdisciplinary scope will be upheld by supervisors from different disciplines or with different methodological specialization within one field.
Each PhD topic has an interdisciplinary, cross-regional approach and takes into account ArCHe’s past-present-future perspective. Interaction across work packages will provide a broad interdisciplinary framework for the PhD students.
Collaborations
All ArCHe PhD projects include strong collaborations between academic and non-academic partners, providing an excellent, unique interdisciplinary and intersectoral training experience for the PhDs as they fully exploit these synergies, thus broadening the PhDs career perspectives.
Supervision
Each PhD student will have one main supervisor and one or two co-supervisor(s) from partner institutions and regions that are important for the cross-regional dimension of the respective PhD study.
The supervisory team and the PhD student together develop a personal career development plan (PCDP) according to the PhD students' needs, setting out scientific objectives necessary for the respective project as well as training and career needs and aspects of employability that lie beyond the scope of ArCHe.
As a counterpart to the mobile and international character of the Doctoral network, a stable research environment for the PhD students is achieved through small research groups, often with two ArCHe PhD students at the same institution. All PhD students have a local mentor to help with social integration.
