20 doctoral positions in Quantum Sciences and Technologies

Gen-Q is a doctoral training programme set up by the European Grouping of
Territorial Cooperation (EGTC) Eucor – The European Campus. It provides 51
doctoral positions with an international, interdisciplinary and intersectoral focus. Each
doctoral position lasts 48 months and culminates in the award of a doctoral degree.
The doctoral research is carried out at the Gen-Q partner institutions:
For this second call 20 positions are available
