Call is now closed

Please be aware that as of now ALL VDS applications for any quantum group has to go through the VCQ path as described here. So please submit your application via this application form.

If your application is successfull and you will become part of a Quantum group at the University of Vienna, you will automatically be a member of VDSP. If you have any questions regarding this please do not hesitate to contact us on: vcq.phd@tuwien.ac.at

Applying for the VCQ PHD SCHOOL is a two step process:

First Step
