The urbanHIST recruitment procedure for 15 PhD positions took place on January 18 – 20, 2017 in Valladolid, Spain. Admission boards of all beneficiaries within the H2020 funded project History of European Urbanism in the 20th Century (urbanHIST) met in order to carefully select eligible candidates for 15 PhD positions at individual universities.  The overall number of applicants was 56, representing diversity of countries, also non-European. 36 invited candidates presented their research projects as well as their scientific expertise and language proficiency.
