About thirty CWI researchers currently hold part-time professorships in their area of research at ten Dutch universities, where they contribute to the teaching and supervision of university students. See the overview of CWI's current involvement in teaching courses (pdf) in the Netherlands. CWI researchers also contribute to the national MasterMath and Landelijk Netwerk Mathematische Besliskunde teaching programmes. If you are a master student and interested in working with our researchers on a MSc project, than please take a look at our current MSc projects.
