At the centre of the Research Training Group ‘Standards of Governance’ are the fellows and their research projects. Due to the interdisciplinary and broad orientation of the Research Training Group, a wide variety of people come together here. On this page you will find research portraits of the fellows, in which they talk about their dissertation projects and explain what particularly interests them about the topic of ‘Standards of Governance’. They report on the social relevance of their research projects, how they fit into the research programme of the research training group and what it is like to work together in this type of doctoral programme.
