UPDATE:
Unfortunately, we could not yet secure any funding for a full PhD with start in October 2024.
Therefore, there will be no call for the WS24 batch and you do not need to send us any application.
Thank you for your understanding!
Please find below the list of accepted project proposals for which candidates could apply until Jan. 15, 2023 (for a PhD position starting in October 2023)
