C²PhD: Nicolas Arendt on Comradery and a Refuge on the Danube: Navigating Luxembourg and Vienna
C²PhD - the podcast series that looks at ('sees to') the doctoral researchers among the members of C²DH and explores the stories, ambitions, and ideas that have shaped and continue to shape their thesis journey at C²DH. Through short ten- to fifteen-minute conversations, you get a short glimpse of what doing a PhD at our research centre looks like.
In our second episode, we are joined by Nicolas Arendt, a doctoral candidate navigating the unique challenges and opportunities of a cotutelle program at two universities. Since 2022, Nicolas has been splitting his time between Luxembourg University and Vienna University while working on the TransARB project. This transnational research project, funded by the Luxembourgish Fonds National de la Recherche, explores the transformation of the ARBED company since the 1970s. Tune in as Nicolas shares his insights into managing research across borders, balancing time between two institutions, and, of course, his pick for the best university restaurant.
Host Joé Voncken, historian and himself a doctoral researcher at the centre currently in the fourth year of his thesis project, initially came up this podcast project as part of a DESCOM internship in Science Communication which took place over the course of summer and autumn of '24. Since then, the project has developed a life of its own, with a total of four episodes to come out on a monthly basis between December '24 and March '25, and more in the works.
