Student Research
Zeppelin University attaches great importance to
student research and, in this context, also to the didactic concept of
research-based learning. We are happy if you are enthusiastic about our
research projects and would like to work on them in the context of your thesis
or research modules (Humboldt Year, Elinor Ostrom Project). On our chair
homepage you will find short descriptions of our current research projects
under the section Research Projects. For more suggestions and calls for
collaboration, please see the chair's German website.
