EPS Graduate Programme 2026

Each year, EPS organizes the EPS Graduate Programme for talented MSc students who are interested in pursuing a scientific career in the plant sciences. Students who would like to be informed about EPS research, EPS research groups and what a PhD project entails can apply to this programme.

The programme is divided in two stages:
  1. Getting acquainted with Plant Sciences

The Graduate School EPS will organize activities for enrolled students to become acquainted with each other, with PI’s in EPS and their research. As an enrolled student, you will be invited to participate in the EPS Annual Meeting in Egmond aan Zee.

2. In the second stage of the programme, you will be offered the opportunity to write your own PhD proposal. The writing course in which you write your own PhD proposal can be part of your MSc programme.

A maximum of 12-15 MSc students can participate in the EPS Graduate Programme.
