+The KWARC Group welcomes student involvement in research. If you are interested, please
+send an e-mail to [<michael.kohlhase@fau.de>](maito:michael.kohlhase@fau.de), or come to
+our seminars and courses. 
+
+We have an initial list of topics for
+[theses, or guided research](https://gl.kwarc.info/kwarc/thesis-projects) which may suit
+you, but you can always [adopt one of our currently orphaned systems](/systems/orphans/).
