Kickoff & Recruitment Event, Rome (Virtual Event)

GRAPES Kickoff Event

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, our Kickoff Workshop will be held online on November 5-6, 2020. It will not be a “recruitment” event as it was initially planned because most of the positions are now closed. However, the application process for the remaining open positions is ongoing and we encourage interested candidates to upload their files (see this page) since the hard deadline to recruit PhD fellows remains end of November 2020.

Schedule

The agenda of the meeting includes introductory presentations by the coordinator, the research coordinator, the head of the Educational Committee and the technical coordinator. Next, each beneficiary will give a short presentation of their team and their PhD projects (15′ for teams hosting one PhD, 25′ for teams hosting two PhDs). The PhD projects will be presented by the ESRs, if they are recruited by the time of the Kickoff, else by the project advisor. We encourage the participation of short listed or selected candidates that will not have completed their recruitment procedures by the start of the Kickoff event. The Project’s Partner Organizations will give a brief overview of their research activities and their expectations from GRAPES. Finally, there will be meetings of the Educational Committee and the Supervisory Board.
