\"The European Doctoral Programme (EDP) is an advanced international study programme for doctoral research and training in the Human and Social Sciences launched by the\u00a0Humboldt-Universit\u00e4t zu Berlin<\/strong>, the\u00a0Istituto Italiano di Scienze Umane<\/strong>, the\u00a0Central European University<\/strong>, the\u00a0Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales<\/strong>\u00a0and the\u00a0Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes<\/strong>\u00a0in 2010 which aims at the establishment of a European doctoral school and a European doctoral degree. The third curriculum of the EDP in the Social Sciences explores the question of how the political, economic and cultural construction of \u00b4Europe\u00b4 has been shaped by its global context and how this global context has been shaped by Europe.<\/p>\n

European Doctoral Programm III – ‘Europe in its Global Context’<\/strong>
\nResponsible for the running of the 3rd curriculum are the partner institutions in Berlin (co-ordinating), Budapest and Florence. The curriculum for the Joint PhD in these three sites foresees the fellows to work in at least three different countries by following courses on theory, methodology and research design while annual joint seminars and mobility periods between the sites will give fellows the opportunity to exchange and debate. The joint workshops will take place in turn in the three different sites and will focus on the three strands of the curriculum, sociology, political science and political economy. Further courses taught by experienced and expert staff in all sites will offer fellows an unequalled opportunity to develop a reflexive view on Europe.
\nThematically, the EDP will focus the social, economic, political and cultural dimension of the making of Europe in its global context. The EDP can draw on the particular strength of each partner to train doctoral fellows on this issue: while Florence will focus on issue of social movements, political participation and democratization, Budapest will offer teaching on the political economy of transition processes and Berlin provide special competence on the link between cultural identities and social relations in the making of civil society and the implementation of democratic designs. This unique trademark of the consortium will provide its fellows with a set of conceptual tools and methods that enable them to analyse Europe in its political, social and cultural context.<\/p>\n

Starting in the academic year 2013\/14, EDPIII will receive funding from the Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate Scheme. The joint programme will be run by the partner sites in Berlin, Budapest and Florence, but the circle of involved partners will be enlarged by the association of the Middle-Eastern Technical University in Ankara (Turkey), the University of Haifa (Israel) and the Universit\u00e9 de Tunis-El Manar (Tunisia).
\nEDPIII invites applications from all interested candidates in the disciplines of sociology, political sciences and economics.\u00a0Please consult the official Call for applications<\/strong>or the webpage\u00a0http:\/\/www.edpiii.eu<\/a>\u00a0for further information or contact us atstaff@edpiii.eu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\nThese Fellowships are awarded to doctoral candidates who come from a country other than an EU member state or associated countries and who are neither residents nor have carried out their main activity (studies, work, etc.) for more than a total of 12 months over the last five years in these countries. The only exception to this rule applies to doctoral candidates who have previously received an Erasmus Mundus Masters scholarship in order to follow an EMMC.

All Erasmus Mundus Fellowship holders on the EDPIII programme will benefit from Fellowship contracts covering monthly allowance, holidays, parental leave, social security and pension rights. In addition, fellows will be paid a fixed sum for installation costs at the beginning of the programme. Furthermore, the participation costs for the programme will be covered by the EDPIII consortium.<\/p>\n

University Scholarships<\/strong>
\nEvery year, three scholarships, sponsored by the three full partner universities in the frame of the European Doctoral Programme (http:\/\/www.europeandoctoralprogramme.com<\/a>), will be available. The scholarships will cover approximately 20.000 EUR per year including research-related costs plus a fixed sum for insurance and programme participation costs.<\/p>\n
