At least six people are off to good start of the summer, because they are the recipients of a Meijers grant. For the next few years, these researchers will be able to devote themselves to their PhD research. Let's meet these new PhD candidates!
More researchers than ever
Every year, Leiden Law School offers a number of Meijers PhD positions to talented researchers. Over the last few years, there were usually two grants available, but this year that has been increased to three. Not only that, but because all departments of the intended PhD candidates were willing to supplement half of the research funds , so-called 'matching', six researchers will be able to start working on their PhD research this year instead of three.
Who are these researchers and what are their plans?
We got hold of all the PhDs to ask them some questions about what it means for them to have to have secured and Meijers grant, their research, and their plans for the coming years.
You can read the interviews with the lucky PhD candidates on our Dutch website.
