Discovering research in a European context

This Blended Intensive Programme (BIP) is designed to inspire and empower master’s students to engage with research early in their academic journey, regardless of their disciplinary background. Gain fresh perspectives on research methods, communication, societal impact, and European collaboration — and unlock your potential as a future researcher!

As a highlight: Participants will get the chance to take part in a real research event—the “Tuesday for Researchers”, a EUNICE research event held in Mons (Belgium) where PhD students present their latest research work.
