Individual Research Plan

Your Individual Research Plan communicates important information about the who, what, why, when of research. During the first year, you are expected to create such a plan and submit a written piece for discussion: first discuss it with your supervisor(s) and then – during the first eight months of your postgraduate training – present it at a seminar (usually at your home institution).

The doctoral student prepares an Individual Research Plan Defense Report  according to the attached template and submits it, together with the Individual Research Plan, to the relevant School Coordinator. The Individual Research Plan shall be approved by the relevant School Coordinator and the Head of School within 30 days of submission.
