Explore RDI Activities
Students can familiarize themselves with RDI activities early in their studies by participating in project-related events, through visits by RDI staff as part of courses, and by completing project-based assignments within courses.
Deepen Your Expertise
As studies progress, students can further develop their expertise by applying for paid traineeships as RDI student assistants. Recruitment for RDI student assistant positions is organized twice a year, in spring and autumn. Available assistant positions are published under open vacancies.
Thesis Work in RDI Activities
RDI activities also offer students opportunities to complete their thesis in an authentic working-life environment. We receive a high number of enquiries related to thesis topics. To help us guide you efficiently to a suitable team and potential topics, we kindly ask you to reflect on the following points before contacting us. This is an important part of the early stages of the thesis process, as it helps you clarify your own goals and enables us to identify a suitable RDI contact for you.
