Doctoral Researchers

Each Doctoral Researcher is a part of one local research group, and each Researcher has at least two supervisors. The main supervisor, who is the principal investigator (PI) of the research group, has a full responsibility for the overall management of the Researchers training and research project. Additional supervisors guide the Researcher related to their own scientific expertise. The main supervisor together with co-supervisors offer advice and guidance to the Researcher towards the completion of their PhD degree.
