Beta PhD thesis series

Beta has a series of dissertations that was initiated in 1997. The Beta Board endorses the added value of the Beta PhD thesis series for the central visibility of PhD theses published in the Netherlands within the field of OM. All dissertations of Beta PhD students appear as part of this series and will be published under the auspices of Beta.

All dissertations within the series have to show the link with Beta clearly. To be included in the series, it is required to incorporate the Beta logo and the following sentence at an appropriate place (counter title page or counter back page): ‘This thesis is part of the PhD thesis series of the Beta Research School for Operations Management and Logistics (onderzoeksschool-beta.nl) in which the following universities cooperate: Eindhoven University of Technology, Maastricht University, University of Twente, VU Amsterdam, Wageningen University and Research, and KU Leuven’.

Availability of a pdf of the dissertation (distribution to scientific director and availability of some copies at assessments or nominations for PhD prizes) and abstract in English is required.

An overview of all the published dissertations can be found here.
