This requirement is only mandatory for trajectories starting from 01-01-2023 and applies only to non-payroll promovendi. This means that you do not have an employment contract with WUR.

Uploading the agreement is the responsibility of your supervisor. The deadline for fulfilling this obligation is 26 weeks (within 6 months) after the start of the PhD trajectory (this is in line with the deadlines for the Research Proposal and Data Management Plan).

The consequence of not adding the agreement: the Go/NoGo form cannot be submitted!

After submission of the agreement by the supervisor, the requirement will be reviewed by the Doctoral Service Centre (DSC office). If the agreement is rejected you will receive the following email for your information.

If the agreement is approved you will receive the following email.

Finally, your PhD Checklist is updated.
