Research Projects 2012/13

For Masters Students

Master 2012

Below you can find a list of Master Research Projects and Research Laboratories available to receive students in 2012/2013.

All students developing research projects at ITQB may apply to the university extension courses available at ITQB to certify their training. Summer training may also, upon evaluation, award a small number of credits.

For applications and further informations, students should contact directly the Laboratory coordinators (please follow the laboratory links for contacts).  When available, the summaries of the research projects are also provided here.
