Erasmus PhD Association Rotterdam EPAR

Over Erasmus PhD Association Rotterdam EPAR

The Erasmus PhD Association Rotterdam (EPAR) was founded in 1993 under the former name “InterFacultair AIO-Overleg Rotterdam” (IFAR). Since its foundation, EPAR has been exerting itself to protect the interests of all PhD candidates at the Erasmus University (EUR). EPAR’s mission is to help create an Erasmus University that provides an even more attractive and inspiring working and research climate for its PhD candidates.

What does EPAR do? EPAR represents all current, former and aspiring PhD candidates, as well as early-career researchers of the Erasmus University and the Erasmus Medical Center and all others who feel part of the Rotterdam PhD community. We cooperate with the PhD councils from the departments to give PhD candidates and those who feel part of the Rotterdam PhD community a face and a voice at the university level. EPAR organizes drinks and other social events provides information for PhD candidates and maintains contacts with the policymakers of the university. EPAR also has close cooperation with PhD Network the Netherlands (PNN) and is therefore always informed about political and other issues that may be relevant for PhDs. You might know EPAR from the PhD day/career event, a day for all PhDs that includes lectures and workshops about the various skills and qualities that are needed for the successful completion of your PhD trajectory and beyond. Or maybe you know us from our numerous other events throughout the year. We organise drinks and dinners where you can meet your fellow PhD students or the other academic staff, as well as specific courses or other activities useful for your PhD.
