We do not offer a list of potential research projects here because the list is too extensive and constantly changing in order to stay relevant and cutting-edge. We prefer to discuss projects with the applicant personally to match respective interests and skills. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with the research of the academics in the EIL and then contact them directly by e-mail. For general enquiries please complete the online form here:
