R3C Phd Thesis Lab on Urban Resilience

The R3C PhD Thesis Lab on Urban Resilience aims at supporting PhD students in better understanding and addressing different needs and interests of their research in terms of mentoring, lab environment, and research project design. 

R3C PhD Thesis Lab would help PhD students in three main directions:

• Find the right fit for their research projects in an interdisciplinary environment. In the R3C PhD Thesis Lab, the PhD students can meet Responsible Risk Resilience Centre – R3C research group, discuss about their challenges, and identify a direct scientific responsible to whom they can refer to. 
• Be prepared and skilled on resilience. Framing and implementing resilience in the broad realm of urban studies is a challenge which few research groups are poised to accomplish through PhD tutoring as resilience studies require a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives that disciplinary research silos cannot support. The R3C PhD Thesis Lab can help PhD students to take on interdisciplinary research methodology to design resilient cities.
• Seek a supportive and complementary lab environment. It is important that PhD students are comfortable with the people in the R3C group as research is hard and PhD students don’t want to compound that difficulty by entering a challenging situation. A research environment in which PhD students are able to bounce ideas off others is what makes great science. Ideally, PhD students should find an environment and a set of colleagues that they will learn from and enjoy professionally.
