PhD / PDEng: emergency support and online courses

To: PhD and PDEng candidates,

We would like to inform you of the possibility for bursary or other non-employed candidates to receive support via the UT Emergency Fund to help those in pressing need due to corona-related issues (payments stalled, unable to travel at end of stay etc.). You can use me as first point of contact, and I will contact you and pass your name and m-number to SACC where the requests will be screened. You can mail tgs@utwente.nl or  p.m.vandijk@utwente.nl.
