3. Project Selection Process
Selection criteria for projects are in the given order:
-
Scientific quality
-
Innovation
-
Feasibility of the project (prior own research, expertise, realistic timeline)
-
Statistical methods
-
Cooperation between medicine and informatics
-
Other: Experience of project leader / supervisor
By mid March, the program committee will shortlist 15 to 20 projects out of all project proposals (no definite admission). Project leaders are invited to present their projects on a project conference at the end of March (students who are admitted to the program present themselves). Consequently, the number of projects presented on the project conference will be higher than the number of projects finally realized.
In parallel (by mid March), the program commission will shortlist 15-20 student applicants per discipline (medicine - informatics), who are invited to briefly present themselves on the project conference.
Following this, at the beginning of April, students and project teams have the chance to meet each other non-bindingly. Both, students and groups, are recommended to meet more than one student and team, respectively.
After this acquaintace interval, projects and students prepare a shortlist with their top 3 priorities (project teams: top 3 students per discipline, students: top 3 projects) and send their list to the program management. The program committee then performs a matching between students and projects based on the shortlists by the end of April.
Projects will begin between July 1st and August 1st 2022.
