Socializing and networking between doctoral candidates
We see it as another central task for us to facilitate and promote the exchange between doctoral students of our School. The circumstances under which candidates do their doctorate at our School and the experiences they gain are very diverse. An exchange among each other can therefore be very valuable and also open up new perspectives for the assessment of the own situation as well as the own development. For this purpose, we regularly organize events for socializing and networking. We will inform you about the details and how to register via the known channels.
