Education programmes

Future transdisciplinary researchers and professionals not only require cognitive skills, but an understanding of the social dynamics and psychological processes in organisations and society as well. They need to be able to deal with different personalities and cultures, and to adjust their strategies accordingly. Therefore, the Athena Institute offers various (faculty- and university-wide) educational programmes at the interface of life sciences and social sciences, and of theory and practice.

Athena Graduate School 

The Athena Institute's PhD programme is part of the Athena Graduate School. Here, we aim to provide a stimulating scientific environment in which young researchers, experienced staff and international scholars mutually inspire one another. Find more information on the Athena Graduate school webpage.
