Connected World is one of four profile themes at the heart of the VU. Wishing to promote innovative research on this theme and to engage students in this endeavour, VU sustains Connected World Academy Assistant teams. These teams consist of two Bachelor or Master students guided by VU staff members. With the present call, we cordially invite VU staff to propose such teams. The Academy Assistant program aims at promising high-potential students who want to conduct scientific research and possibly pursue an academic career. The program is meant to bring together scientists from different disciplines; therefore the projects must combine methods and themes from two different disciplines. For each awarded project, the program will fund two student research assistants (0,2 FTE) for a period of nine months. The proposed research must explicitly relate to the Connected World theme.

We look forward to your applications!
