Description of the project

TRANSUNIVThe TRANSUNIV project aims to build a long-term cooperation between the partner universities and the socio-economic actors in the cross-border region France-Wallonia-Flanders. Students and young researchers from the partner institutions will be able to participate in numerous activities that prepare them for cross-border labour mobility.

Objectives

These are the objectives of TRANSUNIV:
•    The mobility of undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students in academic and non-academic organizations in the cross-border region through co-financed internships and short research stays.
•    The organization of job fairs for PhD researchers and job days or weeks for students to strengthen the cross-curricular and international competencies of the participants.
•    The organization of transferable skills seminars for doctoral researchers to sharpen their career skills.
•    The organization of innovative seminars – i.e. residential seminars that bring together young researchers and socio-economic actors to tackle issues that have been identified as strategic and with high potential for innovation.

    Role of Ghent University

    Ghent University will actively engage in mobility calls, organize a job fair and host skills seminars and innovative seminars. In particular, Ghent University will transfer its expertise to organize a job fair (Job Market for Young Researchers) to the partner institutions.
