UMCG Research Institutes
The UMCG research occurs within the context of three (previously five) research institutes. The research institutes have different themes/programmes and are responsible for the support and training of PhD students.
PhD students follow the program affiliation of their first promotor. Your promotor may be affiliated with multiple programs, in that case you pick the one that suits your project the best. You can find your registered institute and program in Hora Finita.
