How to become a TRAIL PhD member

Joining TRAIL has many advantages, besides becoming part of the largest academic transport, infrastructure, and logistics community in the Netherlands. To all her PhD’s, TRAIL will provide support by meeting every student three times during their PhD student career to discuss their research and introduce them to the relevant group of research specialists within TRAIL. Being part of TRAIL allows you to take part in TRAIL’s unique course program. Also, TRAIL supports her PhD students with the printing of the thesis.

Becoming a TRAIL PhD student requires two steps:
1. Fill out the Application Form (after reading the TRAIL PhD Student Reference Guide and Agreement) and send it to TRAIL. After receiving the application form, the TRAIL office will contact the PhD student to make an appointment for an introductory talk.
2. Submit the Course Planning Form and the Publication Planning Form. Note that both the course planning form and the publication planning form are not fixed and can be updated yearly.

For being admitted as a TRAIL PhD member, you have to be a PhD student at one of the affiliated universities.
