Prout is the PhD Network of Utrecht University, run by a group of enthousiastic voluntary PhD representatives from all graduate schools of the university.
Our main aim is to create a safe and welcoming environment for PhD students in Utrecht. We achieve this by organising fun activities and influencing university policy. This involves regular meetings with representatives from university governing bodies, PhD councils at graduate school and faculty level, and the university council. We also maintain connections with external organizations such as PNN (the PhD candidates Network of the Netherlands) and labour unions.
Are you interested in joining Prout? Fill in this sign-up form or email our board at info@prout.nl! We are especially looking for new board members (see our vacancy notice) and for representatives from the Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences. We are also always looking for enthousiastic PhD students who want to organise an activity with us. Feel free to come by our monthly meeting on the second Tuesday of the month!
