Doctoral Seminar 2025

20 Oct 2025, 08:00 → 22 Oct 2025, 19:00 Europe/Berlin

Franziska-Luise Paschke-Bruehl, Marc Strassheim (HZDR), Kunal Kamleshbhai Jani

HZDR Doctoral Seminar 2025. All doctoral researchers from HZDR are happily invited to this event! Transport, accomodation, food, and (non-alcoholic) drinks will be provided free of charge.

In the DocSeminar you will meet people from all different research institutes at the HZDR, making it a fun and interesting event to get to know other doctoral researchers and their research topics, and potentially even start cooperations.

You will have opportunities to present your scientific work, listen to interesting talks, improve your soft skills while participating in workshops, get to know other DRs, connect and make new friends.

 

The timetable is preliminary and subject to change!
