# Orientation with Project Forum
|
|
|
|
Project Forum can be used as a project orientation platform, for example for master theses. It helps students in seeing what possibilities exist and who to contact to discuss concrete projects/theses. In Project Forum, the university is divided into Faculties, Departments and Research Groups. Each research group has multiple *themes* which represent the major research topics of the research group. Themes can optionally have *concrete projects* which can be used for projects which are already well-defined such as (for example) ready-to-choose thesis projects or previous thesis projects to provide some examples to students.

The information displayed for a research group is fully customizable by appointed staff members. The information displayed for the themes and thesis projects of a research group is fully customizable by all staff members belonging to the research group (Professor, PostDoc, PhD, Researcher, Secretary, ...). This reduces administrative hassle and makes the barrier low for people to define their themes or projects.

## Student View
|
|
|
|
When going to their corresponding course on Project Forum, students are presented with information similar to the below (customizable per course/programme). They have two exploration options. The first is by going to a specific research group and looking at the offering they have. The second is by using the search functionality to find themes and concrete projects.

Every research group is free to fill their page as they see fit, but it will generally contain a description of their work and some related courses such that students can search for their favourites and find the group. All groups have an overview of themes which represent their major research topics:

Each theme has a description, a list of researchers involved in the theme and (if any are present) a list of concrete projects belonging to said theme.
