As of July 2026, the Horizon CDT has 129 doctoral graduates who have successfully passed their PhD vivas across 13 cohorts. Around another 25 students are currently studying or in the process of submitting their theses.
The Horizon Alumni Network celebrates the people, research and impact that have shaped the Horizon CDT over the years. Here you can explore the thesis abstracts of our graduates, browse alumni by cohort or name, discover where Horizon researchers have gone on to make an impact, and stay connected with the wider alumni community. Together, these pages highlight the diversity of research, careers and connections that continue to grow from the Horizon experience long after graduation.
