Promovendi Designing Urban Experience (DUE)

Research group chaired by Prof. dr. Caroline Nevejan, AISSR, University of Amsterdam

In the DUE research group each of the PhD candidates has a professional career before and during engaging with the PhD research. The professional experience is considered to be an asset in this research context allowing a specific interaction between theoretical, experimental and professional knowledge and skills. Because of this interaction scientific rigour is matched with societal impact all along.

Each DUE PhD candidate has a second supervisor that comes form within the AISSR, next to prof. dr. Caroline Nevejan. Candidates work with each supervisor individually and a few times per year both supervisors meet together with the candidate to streamline the research.

Every year the so called DUE PhD club has a writing retreat in which the external PhD candidates have time to deeply reflect on their work and engage with each others research as well. Through the year there are occasional online meetings of the DUE PhD club in the evening.
