CSER PhD projects awarded

Until now, 37 projects have been awarded funding in the first two calls (2012 and 2013) of the CSER PhD programme. These projects are presented in

the table below. More information on the individual projects can be found by following the link.

These projects are funded by Shell and, as these projects are relevant to the energy-related themes within the top sectors Energy and Chemistry, this

funding is complemented with 'TKI-toeslag'. The most relevant Energy TKI is indicated in the table.
