Joint Doctoral Degree

Since 2022, Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg and Nagoya Institute of Technology (NITech), Japan have worked on developing a joint doctoral program (JDP) that allows both FAU and NITech doctoral researchers to obtain a bi-national doctoral degree following the Cotutelle de Thèse model jointly from both universities. This JDP is a major milestone in the partnership between FAU and NITech and clearly demonstrates the continued commitment of both institutes to the scientific exchange. This could have not been done without the establishment of the International Research Training Group IGK 2495 Energy Conversion Systems that was launched in January 2020. The program will be launched in April 2024.
