Interdisciplinary Thesis Labs

Applications have closed, it is not possible to enrol for the Interdisciplinary Thesis Labs 22/23 anymore. 

Together with a team of 10-12 Leiden-Delft-Erasmus universities students, students work on a sustainability challenge set by an external organization. You work on your individual thesis related to the challenge and follow a half year lab program, running from February to July 2023. In 12 bi-weekly sessions you gain insight into the interdisciplinary context of the challenge and how you can contribute to this challenge as a young leader.

The program helps you in your thesis process and prepares you for a career in sustainability. It gives you the opportunity to work in an interdisciplinary group of likeminded students where you can learn from each other and exchange visions, work methodologies, confront ideas, etc. You will meet professionals in the field, relevant academic experts, follow workshops and join excursions. Not only will you write a thesis report with your individual results, but together with your thesis group, you will create an interdisciplinary result for the sustainability challenge you all have been working on. The lab is supervised by an ‘academic coordinator’. This is an LDE-researcher working in the field of the sustainability challenge of the lab. At the end of the lab, you will receive a certificate of participation.
