Mini-researchers, Bachelor/Master/Diploma and PhD students at ARI

Already for undergraduate students interested in Astronomy ARI offers mini-projects to gain insight to the actual scientific research.
The different research groups at ARI offer a variety of topics for bachelor/master/diploma theses and for PhD theses. You are invited to contact directly the associated advisors and co-workers for detailed information on the topic of your interest.
