HealthTech Doctoral Projects

At the beginning of every calendar year, HealthTech puts out a call for proposals for doctoral projects. These projects are submitted by permanent researchers within the HealthTech consortium and meet specific criteria for interdisciplinarity and medical application, as outlined in the HealthTech  charter. These proposals are evaluated for eligibility by a panel of experts internal to the consortium. Eligible projects are then circulated by the project supervisors, as well as the by HealthTech manager, to potential candidate populations. Candidates then contact the project supervisors directly to apply. 

Applications sent to HealthTech and not to the supervisors will not be reviewed.

HealthTech has 3 affiliated doctoral schools:
