Dissertations
The promotion of young scientists is a core concern of the Chair. The essential goal is to cultivate doctoral studies at the Faculty of Architecture. The Chair actively supports academic staff in their dissertation projects. Synergies with research projects and teaching formats are leveraged for this purpose. Current dissertation projects are supervised in the format of a regular doctoral colloquium, which also promotes exchange between doctoral students. Research staff and doctoral students are encouraged and supported to participate actively in an international conference once a year and to submit at least one scientific publication.
