Are you a PhD candidate? Enter the Una Europa PhD Impact Award competition
PhD candidates at Leiden University are invited to apply for the Una Europa PhD Impact Award.

More about Una Europa and this Impact Award
Una Europa is an alliance of 11 leading research universities, including Leiden University.
The PhD Impact Award invites doctoral researchers to reflect on their research practice, and to consider how it impacts on society and contributes to the world.
For this competition, the research should have a connection to Future Materials as understood in the context of Una Europa. Future Materials encompasses any material anticipated or expected to be developed or to become prominent in the future. Such materials possess advanced or novel properties, are more sustainable, or offer advantages over currently available materials in specific applications.
Applicants must enter during their PhD, up until the time of their PhD defence. The deadline for entries is midnight on 15 September 2024.
What is the prize?
The winners of the Una Europa PhD Impact Award will have the opportunity to participate in a storytelling workshop (online) and be invited to the Una Europa Gathering in Bologna, Italy (27–29 November 2024) to showcase their research to the Una Europa community and meet with other researchers from the field of Future Materials. Travel and accommodation support will be provided to go to Bologna.
In addition, the winning entries will be published on the Una Europa website.
