CYENS’s Doctoral Training Program (DTP) kicked off in 2019 providing the best possible experience of impactful collaboration, following best practices from across Europe. CYENS’s DTP is a far more valuable and engaging experience compared to working only with an individual supervisor or a small group in a University. CYENS DTP provides a collaborative cohort environment, offers a wide range of research projects and innovation activities, and training opportunities. The program fosters knowledge transfer and student engagement with the wider community and the partner institutions.
