Below you will find more detailed information on how to join us as a new supervisor or how to accredit a topic in a new doctoral program.

Who is this for?

• Supervisors who are not yet accredited in any Doctoral Section.
• Supervisors already accredited in one Doctoral Section who want to advertise topics in a new Doctoral Section.

Note: accreditation is required when entering a new Doctoral Section.

What kind of supervisors are we looking for?

• Colleagues keen to adopt new methodologies (registries, clinical trials, meta-analyses, etc.).
• Researchers who enjoy a dynamic, interdisciplinary environment.
• Mentor-minded experts meeting students regularly.

Main requirements

• Professional CV and publication list (MTMT ID preferred).
• Concise topic description (goals, methods, expected outcomes).
• Supervisor acceptance and required forms.

EDT decision & ODT profile

• EDT decides on (possibly conditional) accreditation.

Who is this for?

• Already accredited supervisors who wish to announce a new topic within their accredited Doctoral Section.
• If you plan to advertise a topic in a new Doctoral Section, please obtain accreditation first.

Main requirements

• Brief topic description (about ½–1 page: goals, methods, expected outcomes).
