How does the program work?
Application process
Having a PhD student who wants to pursue their own research will make you collaborate with the colleagues you've always wanted to work with. That was a really big advantage for me.
Those PhD students literally are your eyes and your ears. They're at the other university when you are not and vice-versa. I've discovered collaborative opportunities that I would never have seen, if not for my joint PhD students who were located at the other university.
