EXAMPLE PHD BUDGET

BASIC LIVING COSTS (PER MONTH)

P-NUT connects by bringing together PhD’s and EngD’s, so they can share their experiences and help each other grow and become more efficient in their research and work environment. Furthermore it organises many social events on a regular basis in which doctoral candidates can meet other people in an informal manner.

The P-NUT newsletter is sent out on a regular basis and includes updates on social events for PhD’s and EngD’s. It also includes updates on workshops aimed to provide useful information on specific topics, for example the Dutch tax system, dealing with mental health issues, etc. In addition, P-NUT informs doctoral candidates about relevant changes in national or local policies, as well as other changes in the scientific landscape, including Open Science.
