Supervision of promotions

Prof'in Fuchs supervises doctoral theses in the field of sustainable consumption and sustainable development (including climate, food, energy and land governance) as well as on the political role of corporations and economic actors. In order to ensure adequate supervision of the doctoral candidates, only a limited number of them are accepted at any given time. The expectations Prof'in Fuchs has of a doctoral thesis are summarised in this flyer. If you are interested in doctoral supervision, please submit a short exposé with your request, outlining the research question, its social and scientific relevance and planned methodological procedure.
