Potential (co-) Supervisors


Multi-voice guidance for doctoral students

VISESS encourages team supervision, which provides multi-voice guidance for doctoral students and fosters teamwork and community. Full, associate and assistant professors, and habilitated researchers are active supervisors in the school. In addition, VISESS actively promotes junior researchers (postdocs) as (co-)supervisors. All supervisors follow the Code of Good Practice for Doctoral Schools at the University of Vienna.
