Supervisors

The quality and continuity of supervision and advice plays an important role in young researcher’s personal and professional development. The IDS includes a range of quality assurance measures at different levels aiming at  providing good supervision with respect to scientific excellence, good scientific practice as well as a productive and result-oriented progress of a PhD thesis.

At both universities, supervisor teams of corresponding science fields and mutual research interest have been selected to  co-supervise programme beneficiary phd students.
