Description
The "Helmholtz Interdisciplinary GRADuate School for Environmental Research (HIGRADE)" provides the umbrella structure for structured doctoral supervision at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ). Adapted to individual needs, HIGRADE offers an excellent qualification programme as well as various networking opportunities that prepare doctoral researchers for different career paths within and outside academia. Although regulated by rights and duties for both doctoral researchers and advisors, a doctorate is a major project not free of obstacles. Together with the doctoral representation "do-it", we offer games and discussions in an open format to balance divergent expectations in collaborative work and to open communication channels where everyone feels valued.
