How to find your topic

  • Look around the research interests of our team: on the staff pages, in the research areas and in the projects.
  • Write directly to the person whose work interests you, not to the secretariat. The contact details are on their page.
  • Tell them briefly what you study, what excites you and when you would like to start. Together we find a topic that suits you.
