OIKOS PhD Award

As an incentive to finish dissertations on time, OIKOS presents PhD candidates who graduate in time with a PhD Award of €500,-.

Requirements

• The candidate has finished his/her dissertation within the initially agreed research time

• All tutors (in Dutch: promotores) have approved the dissertation within this initially agreed research time

• The exam board (in Dutch: manuscriptcommissie) has approved this version of the dissertation too (i.e.: the manuscript that was submitted to the promotores is the same as the manuscript that was submitted to the exam board, and the exam board confirms the judgement of the promotores).

• The candidate has followed OIKOS courses of at least 10 EC worth (or an equivalent of that).

If a PhD candidate qualifies for the OIKOS PhD Award, then his/her supervisor must send an email to the OIKOS office, in which he/she states the date that he/she approved the manuscript, the begin- and end-date of the candidate's contract and the confirmation of the exam board.

NB. the 3-month extension for the OIKOS PhD award due to the covid-situation, which was allowed for the academic year 2021/2022, is extended for the entire calendar year 2022.
