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.

### Themes and Projects
|
|
|
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. A concrete project looks very much the same but doesn't have any concrete projects listed.

### Expressing Interest
|
|
|
Students can press the "I am interested!" button, which brings them to a secondary page where they are required to give more information and when they intend to start their thesis.

|
The interest emails are sent to the email contacts of a theme (configurable) and are sent from the email address of the student. This allows staff members to reply directly to the email to start further communication. The student also receives a copy of the email that was sent.

|

There are limitations in the system to prevent the possibility of spam. Messages must be at least 60 characters long (_has content_), need to be confirmed (_no accidents_), are sent from the students email (_traceable_) and students are limited to expressing interest in only 2 (configurable per course/programme) themes/projects (_not spammable_). If students want to express interest in more, they will have to revoke their interest in an existing theme/project which again requires an explanatory email.

## Management View
|
|
|
When you log in on [Project Forum](https://projectforum.tudelft.nl) with Single-Sign On, you should automatically get access to the research group you belong to (provided your Master Programme contacted EIP to add the required setup). If this is not the case, reach out to the secretary/management assistant/head of your group such that they can add you manually.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you belong to a research group, then in the top right corner you will have the option to switch from the normal view to the management view (and back). |
