In the first instance, you will need to prepare a research proposal giving details of your proposed thesis, and to choose a national tutor among the members of the European PhD network named in the application form.

If your tutor approves your project, he will sign your application form recommending to the European PhD committee that your application be accepted. The national tutor may also suggest the names of two foreign supervisors (to be indicated in the application form), who might be interested and available to be your tutors during your staying abroad (as requested by the regulations of the Euro PhD programme).

There is no strict form of application for the research proposal itself (see Guidelines for the preparation for the short proposal ). However the attached sheet (see Guidelines for the evaluation of the research 'project' - 'study' ) shows you the outline of the shared criteria for the evaluation of the project jointly requested by the Euro PhD committee to the tutors.
