Doctoral Plan Collection
The D-INFK study administration provides doctoral plan guidelines and a template, but they give limited direction on depth and style. VMI therefore collects well-written research and doctoral plans to show examples of style and scope.
Before 2022, the document was called a research plan. The name changed, while the purpose and most content stayed the same.
Aptitude Colloquium
After handing in your doctoral plan, you present it at the end of your first year in the aptitude colloquium.
