Welcome to the website of PromoVE!

PromoVE, the consultative PhD body of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) in The Netherlands is an association that protects the interests of PhD candidates including “OiO’s” connected to the TU/e. Besides this, PromoVE tries to create a platform that allows PhD candidates to exchange information and offer individual help to PhD candidates of the TU/e with questions or problems of legal nature.

Besides this, we try to fulfill a social role, bringing PhD candidates together, by organizing social events.

History
Some 15 years ago, PhD candidates of the TU/e organized themselves and the AiOOE (“AiO Overleg Eindhoven) was born with the main goal to protect the interests of PhD candidates at the TU/e. With the change of the function of AiO into PhD candidate (“Promovendus” in Dutch), the name was changed into PromoVE (Promovendi Vereniging Eindhoven).

Status
PromoVE is an independent representative body of the PhD candidates at the TU/e and is officially registered at the chamber of commerce. We act accordingly. All PhD candidates including OiO’s connected to the TU/e can become a member. Membership is free of costs and obligations.

PromoVE is also associated with the national body for PhD candidates, the Promovendi Netwerk Nederland (PNN).
Young scientists can find some useful information about their career and interests on VAWO (a platform for researchers to say about the scientific process and their own work situation).

On October 12th PromoVE organized a printing market. For more information, the presentation slides and the event survey click on the picture above.
