“Edgy and consistent, the Lisbon Consortium is the ultimate place for those interested in coupling critical thinking with interdisciplinary creativity. With its uniquely vibrant and friendly environment, the program has given me the skills to conduct original research in exciting new ways, and the opportunity to meet inspiring people from both academia and the art world. The Lisbon Consortium makes full use of the exciting cultural energy of the city and infuses it with sharp inquiry.”

"As a PhD student at the Lisbon Consortium I have appreciated the opportunities that were afforded me to organize and propose projects that did not exist already. Among the initiatives supported by the research school and my supervisor in particular were a workshop on contemporary politics, a graduate conference on the notion of ‘replacement’, and editing a graduate journal together with fellow candidates. Working at the consortium has meant shaping academic connections with colleagues in different places, most notably Copenhagen, Paris, and Amsterdam, thus furthering my academic connections beyond Lisbon alone."
