Participation projects in which we supervise your final theses (as of January 2026)

We are currently looking for students who would like to write their Bachelor's and Master's theses in the following projects. Your tasks in the project are described in each case. You can then use the collected data to work on the empirical questions of your Bachelor's or Master's thesis. In principle, we will provide you with very intensive support if you work on a project. Please send an e-mail to the specified project manager in good time to make an informal enquiry about collaboration.
