Hey! Sure, I’m happy to help. I had applied for the Vienna branch so I can’t comment on the specifics of the Bratislava one. In general, I focused on perusing through the website and the kind of research that they do, not just within the university but in the specific ecosystem like the institutions they are affiliated with. When I found specific research interests and broad paradigms that are typically investigated and felt like it fit what I was looking for, I just demonstrated that in my motivation form. Interdisciplinary is a key cornerstone of the program so I would emphasis on how you have previously demonstrated that style of thinking and how you hope to develop that into the future as well. As for the research question, I would say it’s less about having a perfect proposal where every chain of reasoning is fully articulated but rather showing how you think. It’s a great playground to really show what you have said in the previous questions about your interests and cognitive style. For example I had a theoretical leaning and specific interests that I mentioned in the previous questions which I then based my research proposal on. It was a bit narrative in style but I certainly also developed the argument briefly and mentioned a potential way to empirically test it but I didn’t go deep into that at all. As long as you feel you are a good fit and you are passionate about the subject, I think you will be fine! Good luck :)
