SMUS Berlin hosted 40 Junior Researchers for a six-month research stay from September 2020 to February 2021. The researchers selected by SMUS partners used the opportunity to explore their research interests and develop a PhD proposal. At the end of the research stay, the researchers were given the opportunity to apply

for a 36-month SMUS PhD scholarship. As a result, 12 Junior Researchers are now enrolled in PhD programs in several SMUS partner countries. If you would like to find out more about a specific SMUS Junior Researcher, feel free to visit their profile in the People section of the SMUS website.
