Current Projects

3rd Period (2019-2023)

MolTag-students will be supervised by a primary supervisor and a co-supervisor. The primary supervisor will help the student to draft a research proposal and present it to the faculty and the Scientific Advisory Board. The co-supervisor and the Scientific Advisory Board will increase the amount of expert advice available to the students. This will expand the networking opportunities of the candidate and promote the integration of the students into the international scientific community.
