EUR 7,000 annually for a duration of up to two years.
Waiver of all tuition fees at TU Wien.

- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or Mathematics (Bologna first cycle) or equivalent degree
- Extensive mathematical and technical knowledge and interest in (at least one of) Helmut Veith’s areas of research:
