For PhD students

Ph.D. students can become a student member of the KLI when a research proposal submitted by one of the supervisors has been approved of by the KLI Research Committee.

Application procedure

1. To apply for Ph.D. student membership a research proposal should be submitted to the Research Committee by the prospective supervisor, using the standard form.

2. Furthermore, the application form for new Ph.D. students should be send to the KLI-office.

All documents can be send to the KLI-office, preferably by e-mail.

Research Proposal

Procedure for submitting a research proposal

a.	Only KLI members can submit a research proposal and apply for membership of their Ph.D. students
b.	A research proposal should be submitted within half a year after the PhD project started
c.	In case the Research Committee asks for revision of the proposal, the adjusted proposal should be submitted within two months
d.	A single research proposal can only be submitted twice (so one resubmission)

Criteria

The Research Committee evaluates each Ph.D. project in terms of the following criteria:

a.	At least one supervisor must be a member of the KLI
b.	The theme or topic of the research must fit within the scientific mission of the KLI
c.	The proposal must be in a form that can readily be judged by the committee (i.e., in the KLI application format)
d.	Arrangements for the supervision of the project should be appropriate

Applications that in the eyes of the Research Committee fall short of the desired standard with regard to content issues are returned to the applicants with a request to revise the proposal in the light of written feedback from the committee and to resubmit the proposal for consideration at a following meeting.
