EUI launches first generation student initiative

Researchers and students arrive at the EUI from around the world, bringing with them a diverse range of life and educational experiences. Among this diversity are people who are the first in their family to pursue a post-graduate degree.

As part of the EUI diversity strategy, the Academic Service has launched an initiative to support first-generation PhD researchers and masters students. The goal is to connect them with faculty and fellows who have travelled a similar path, and/or are available to mentor early-stage researchers now in the same position.
