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.
