Hey Everyone, I need some important advice. I am applying to a PhD Program in Economics which requires the submission of a Research Proposal that must include the following as per the instructions mentioned - 1) Research Question 2) Feasibility and Justification of the Proposal 3) Convergence with the lines of Research in Development 4) Bibliography The page limit is just 7 pages(including the Bibliography). I am not sure how to go on to fit all of the above in just 7 pages. Additionally, I have a few questions - 1) How exactly do I explain the Feasibility and Justification of the Proposal? Specially when they ask me about feasibility, do they require me to talk about the Budget constraints for the study or this part has to be strictly Academic? 2) I understand what they mean by convergence, but I don't understand how shall I demonstrate it clearly in the Research proposal, any tips for that? Any advice or pointers are highly appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi there, I am Looking for Social Science PhD Programs based in Europe focusing on Economic and Social Development. I am particularly interested in PhD programs having collaborations with universities and institutes in Latin America, as I would like to do my fieldwork in Latin America. In fact, I would have preferred to pursue my PhD from a Latin American University, but I haven't particularly come across a fully funded International Development or Social Science PhD program in LA. Thus, I was wondering if there are any funded European three to four year PhD programs that could allow me to pursue my PhD with Fieldwork in LA. I have excellent command of Spanish and a Master's degree in International Development from a European University, I also have previous research experience in Latin America. I came across the ZEF Bonn PhD Program, which has a well spread network and collaborations with institutions all around the world, but unfortunately, the scholarship deadline has passed. I was wondering if there are similar PhD Programs in Europe. Any help is highly appreciated. Thank you
