Getting in touch

If you are interested to learn more about joining KNoWS, or if you want to send an application, please prepare the following:

• Based on our topics, explain what attracts you specifically to this research, as opposed to other domains.
• Pick one or two of our publications (or blog posts from our colleagues Pieter Colpaert, Ruben Taelman, Beatriz Esteves, …, or the aggregated blog of our team). Read through them and express what you find interesting/strange/intriguing.
• Prepare a short resume (possibly in an online profile).

Please send the above by e-mail to Pieter Colpaert (or directly to one of our research leads Beatriz Esteves, Ben De Meester, Femke Ongenae or Ruben Taelman, if your interests match their work) and let’s have a chat.
