ENROL is an interdisciplinary Marie Skłodowska-Curie COFUND doctoral programme at TU Wien that is set up to educate and train a new generation of 20 highly achieving early stage researchers (ESRs) to study and develop novel technologies and engineering solutions for the life sciences.
ENROL provides a 3-year long doctoral training for 20 international PhD candidates within an English-language curriculum. Our programme integrates a broad spectrum of scientific and technological fields related to molecular bioengineering, biophysics & biochemistry, biomechanics, biological imaging, biomaterials, computational modelling, and tissue engineering, offering the PhD students life-long flexibility for continued professional growth.
