The Donders Thesis Series is basically open to all PhD candidates within the Donders Institute. PhD candidates who are enrolled at the Donders Graduate School are required to publish their PhD thesis in the series. It is optional for PhD candidates who are employed elsewhere but spend the majority of their research time at the Donders Graduate School.
The Donders Institute initiated the so-called Donders Series for PhD candidates completing their PhD thesis within our research programme. As of September 2008 the series is published by the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour.
The word cloud above is based on the titles of all theses currently included in the Donders Thesis Series and as such provides a nice representation of the topics of research within the Donders Institute. The complete list of Donders Theses can be found here and it includes links to the Radboud Repository to retrieve the full-text of each thesis.
