Additionaly, there is the following platform. You are welcome to check there to see if anything suitable is available. Even if no topic fits directly, you may find a contact there who could be a good fit for you.
Another option is to write a thesis in collaboration with your employer. In this case, it is important that the university always assigns the topic and that there are supervisors from the university. So, if a research question arises and you and your employer believe it could be a potential topic for a master’s thesis, contact colleagues at the university to discuss the matter.
