Interested in collaborating with CENTIM as part of your thesis? (Photo: Unsplash).

A thesis is an important process that should only be undertaken when the examiner and the examinee agree on the modalities of the thesis. For this reason, forms are signed only after an application form has been completed and an exposé has been prepared. Since this usually takes some time, you should take care of this issue early.

Prerequisites:

Enrolled student of economics, business informatics, or a comparable field of study.
Willingness to learn, interest and enthusiasm for the topics of CENTIM as well as for technical and economic issues
Suitable topic of the thesis: If you would like to write your thesis under the supervision of a research assistant within the CENTIM, it helps if you choose a topic that at least roughly coincides with the research areas and competence fields of CENTIM (entrepreneurship, innovation and SMEs).
Good written and oral communication skills
Reliability, independence as well as solution- and result-oriented working style
