Associated Members of BIGSAS
Associated Members include scholars from around the world who are involved in collaborative research with BIGSAS as well as the mentoring of doctoral candidates. Those associated members come from diverse research fields and contribute to the academic, and research goals of BIGSAS through their expertise, joint projects, guest lectures, and participation in research groups. Their association with BIGSAS helps broaden the network and enhance the academic exchange within the graduate school.
The prerequisite for associate membership is that the Junior Fellow that they want to mentor must already be admitted to BIGSAS with a doctoral project and that the associated member is entitled to administer examinations. The association is decided by the Steering Committee at the request of a member and is limited by the duration of the supervisory relationship.
