One year of PhD Corner

 
 

 
 
 

ICOHTEC’s PhD Corner page is an information platform, a freely available tool, which aims to help connect young scholars and grant offers. This project is based on the will to support young scholar’s professional paths, which is one of the lines along which ICOHTEC is driving its scientific mission.

Thanks to the cooperation of all ICOHTEC members, who are providing information on several kinds of financial contributions offered by their institutions, this page will be updated monthly to guarantee to the user a really useful and good quality service.

Also non-members and institutions (archives, libraries, foundations) are cordially invited to contribute to this project sending information by email to Francesco Gerali, f.gerali@igg.unam.mx , contents manager of the PhD Corner.

The first year of PhD Corner has passed. Here is a word from Francesco Gerali on this small anniversary.

Policy of consultation

The only purpose of this page is to offer a quality information tool which can benefit the young scholar community. ICOHTEC does not have any kind of income from any institutional grant advertised. Our intent is to get young scholars free available information containing financial support for scholarship. We kindly inform users not to send curriculum vitae, applications or requests for additional information. For those items users directly contact the offering institution.
