COM Research Fair

Compatibility of the supervisor's and the students' interests are an important success factor for the research done in a MSc thesis. Finding the right students for MSc theses is often a somewhat fuzzy process that involves luck. Many students feel the same for finding the right supervisor. The COM Research Fair 2012 helps in the matchmaking.
