The ELLIS PhD program has launched its yearly recruiting round and is now accepting applications. A key pillar of the ELLIS initiative, the program's central aim is to foster and educate the best talent in machine learning and related research areas by pairing outstanding students from across the globe with leading researchers in Europe. The program also offers a variety of networking and training activities. Each PhD student is co-supervised by two ELLIS scientists based in different European countries. Over the course of their degree, students complete a mandatory exchange of at least six months at their co-advisor's lab. One of the advisors may also come from industry, in which case the student will collaborate closely with the private sector partner and spend their exchange conducting research at an industrial lab.
