Studying IN and ABOUT the Mountain Regions


What is the "Innsbruck Doctoral School in Mountain Research" ?

The "Innsbruck Doctoral School in Mountain Research" (IDS) complements and expands your regular studies in a specific field of mountain research. In addition to your general degree certificate, you will receive a certificate for successful participation in the IDS. Furthermore, the IDS strongly supports interdisciplinary cooperation among peers and senior researchers. As part of IDS, there are also various activities that enhance your skills beyond your research .

Currently, the IDS consists of four doctoral colleges (IDC) for which you can apply for when you are enrolled for a PhD study in the respective subjects.
