The Graduate School in Lifelong Learning is advertising two PhD-scholarships within two of the following subjects.All scholarships are financed by the Danish Department of Research. The purpose of the funding programme is to support international collaboration; it should therefore be built into each PhD-project that it is to be undertaken at the Roskilde Graduate School and a partner university, within a theme of their collaboration. Applicants must be able to split their study period between both the collaborating Universities and with close ongoing contact as well. The following themes and partnerships are open for applications:

• The work place as learning environment (partner; Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto, Canada)
• Learning motivations and lifelong learning policies (partner; University of British Columbia, Canada)
• Comparative research in learning to and in welfare professions (partner; East China Normal University, China)
• Understanding the interplay between formal, informal and non-formal learning from a life history perspective (Education Department of the Georg-August-Universität in Göttingen, Germany)
• Adult education and adult educators in a time of lifelong learning (partner; Linköping University, Sweden)
• Practice-based learning and innovation (partner; Linköping University, Sweden)
• Social and health care workers in multi-disciplinary teams (partner; Institute of Lifelong Learning, Leeds University, UK)
• Learners not patients; life histories and learning biographies of people with chronic illness (partner; Institute of Lifelong Learning, Leeds University, UK)
