134 - PhD Application Series: PhDs in Europe versus the US, with Barbara Plank and Gonçalo Correia

This episode is the second in our current series on PhD
applications. How do PhD programs in Europe differ from PhD
programs in the US, and how should people decide between them? In
this episode, we invite Barbara Plank (Professor at ITU, IT
University of Copenhagen) and Gonçalo Correia (ELLIS PhD student at
University of Lisbon and University of Amsterdam) to share their
perspectives on this question. We start by talking about the main
differences between pursuing a PhD in Europe and the US. We then
talk about the application requirements for European PhD programs
and factors to consider when deciding whether to apply in Europe or
the US. We conclude by talking about the ELLIS PhD program, a
relatively new program for PhD students that facilitates
collaborations across Europe. ELLIS PhD program:
