Prepare a PhD thesis or perform post-doc research
In a conscious desire to increase its pool of highly specialised young researchers and to tighten the links with the universities, SCK•CEN embarked in 1992 on a programme to support PhD candidates and post-doctoral researchers.
Since 1992, over 80 students started a PhD in collaboration with SCK•CEN and more than 50 post-docs joined our Centre. Today, about 35 young scientific researchers perform their work in research fields that reflect the priority programmes and R&D topics of SCK•CEN.
