What is this programme about?
Based on its core values, UNIC is dedicated to supporting networking and further development of research on Migration. The UNIC PhD Programme (UPP) offers qualification and training opportunities and brings together PhD researchers working on the topic of Migration within the UNIC network of partner universities.
UPP offers you an easy access to visit courses of partner universities. (Virtual) mobility enables Early Career Researchers to collect international experiences and to inter-connect. As a flexible programme, you can choose the most suitable courses and events. Its international perspectives complement and support your regular PhD procedure.
Who can participate and how does it work?
How can I participate?
What about Certificates and Recognition?
The international perspectives provided by the programme complement and support your regular PhD supervision but they do not replace local mentoring and supervision.
PhD researchers receive a certificate for their participation in an international UNIC event and in some cases an extra certificate for their chosen course.
In the case that a course is needed as an official part of your PhD degree, please contact your home university beforehand for the recognition questions!

With “UNIC4ER – Engaged Research” the alliance will develop a joint strategy on “engaged research” for enhancing inclusion, impact and mobility within and in between the
partner universities.
The aim is to develop research in cooperation with Cities and Citizens and to increase impact-orientation in research. This is accompanied by open Science trainings and other networking and qualification events, which are open for UNIC PhD
UNIC partners are also members of IMISCOE (International Migration Research Network), Europe's largest interdisciplinary research network in the field of migration, integration and diversity studies. The research network currently consists of 61 research institutes from almost all European countries.
IMISCOE offers further possibilities for PhD networking and training on the field migration.
