Stay Abroad with BIGSSS-departs: Departure to One of Our Partners
BIGSSS has always encouraged its PhD fellows to conduct research stays abroad during their dissertation phase. In our international network, we draw on strong ties to partner instutions which have been established through the exchange of doctoral fellows, collaborative initiatives, and personal visits of BIGSSS faculty.
The EU COFUND initiative has allowed BIGSSS to intensify its international collaboration in teaching and research at the doctoral education level even further. BIGSSS-departs includes a mandatory stay abroad for up to six months at one of our international academic or inter-sectoral BIGSSS-departs partner institutions:

Fellows profit during their stay abroad from exchanges with experts relavant for their own research project. However, the stay abroad in BIGSSS-departs does not only increase fellows' competencies; with regard to a global job market, it also supports them in setting up their own professional network which they will then be able to draw upon after graduation.
