A. Required components (truncus communis)
1. Scientific publication (min. 1)
To fulfill the requirements of the doctoral programme you must have written at least one scientific
publication at an international level. By a publication at international level is meant: a peer-reviewed
contribution (journal article, contribution to a book, conference proceedings, patent, design) about his/her
own research and written in the language of the discipline. The contribution is aimed at an international
audience. In order to be able to successfully complete the doctoral programme, the contribution must be
published or be accepted for publication. A conference proceeding only qualifies for this requirement if it is
a contribution to a book. If the text has not yet been published, but has been accepted for publication,
please add a confirmation of the editor of the journal or book.
2. Giving seminars (min. 2)
You must give at least two seminars, organized within the research centre of which you are a member,
concerning your own doctoral research, or concerning a more general theme. A seminar concerning your
