Doctoral program

The Doctoral Program on Natural Resources and Development (DNRD) is a semi‐structured doctoral program supported by CNRD-exceed.  The doctoral research is typically embedded into multilateral and interdisciplinary research projects developed together with CNRD. The program is concerned with the major challenges of today’s societies and also inspired by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s), which serve as a reference for the program’s research portfolio. It is designed for a three‐year time frame and is structured in supervision, educational, field research and exposure components. A detailed exposition of the DNRD program can be seen here.
